Application of Bone Ring Technique (BRT) for 3D reconstruction in the anterior aesthetic zone after tumor surgery

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Surgery and periodontitis contribute to alveolar bone loss, resulting in increased tooth mobility. This is particularly evident post-tumor surgery, where larger bone defects are commonly encountered. Adequate bone mass is crucial for successful implant restoration in missing teeth. Conventional repair methods are unable to meet patients' functional and aesthetic expectations, while the loss of alveolar bone further compromises the initial stability of the implant. In the face of these challenges, Bone Ring Technique (BRT) demonstrates significant advantages. We conducted 3D reconstruction of the anterior aesthetic zone in a patient with maxillary bone defects following excision of maxillary odontogenic fibroma using BRT, resulting in satisfactory implant stability. This suggests the potential of BRT as a promising bone grafting technique. • BRT effectively addresses implant stability in cases of extensive alveolar bone loss. • BRT offers functional and aesthetic improvements compared to conventional bone grafting methods. • Successful 3D reconstruction with BRT in the anterior aesthetic zone showcases its potential for complex maxillary defects.
