New horizons for pre-implant reconstruction of atrophic edentulous ridges with CAD/CAM customized titanium meshes

Different reconstructive procedures are nowadays available to allow implant placement also in the presence of severely atrophic partially or totally edentulous ridges, such as GBR with particulate grafts and resorbable or non-resorbable membranes or autogenous bone block grafts. These procedures are both reliable but sometimes time-consuming and very technically demanding in terms of adaptation and fixation of the grafts, both particulate or in blocks.

Recently, customized, CAD/CAM titanium meshes are available on the market with the aim of offering on one hand results similar to those obtained with the traditional reconstructive procedures, and on the other a relevant simplification of the surgical procedure.

The production of these Ti-Meshes is in fact performed on personalized 3-D models obtained by CBCTs of the atrophic area of each patient allowing an extreme precision and simplification of the adaptation of the mesh to the defect to be reconstructed.

Course Objectives:

– The aim of this webinar is to show clinical details and results of this new reconstructive modality.
