Turkey (Türkiye)15 participantsStarted 2025-02-06

Plain-language summary

Brief introduction: After tooth extraction, alveolar defects may hinder implant placement. Digital imaging and CAD/CAM advances allow creation of patient-specific titanium meshes for effective bone augmentation. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of customized titanium meshes produced using computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technologies in the horizontal and vertical augmentation of complex alveolar ridge defects prior to implant placement.
