Staged implant placement following horizontal ridge augmentation using composite graft: A case report

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Horizontal ridge defect will compromise three dimensional prosthetically driven implant position. For aesthetic and functional treatment outcomes, horizontal ridge augmentation should be performed prior to the implant placement. Ridge augmentation can be done by either block grafts or particulate bone grafts in a stagewise approach (delayed implant placement). In the first stage, ridge augmentation is performed, followed by implant placement after assessing the outcome of first stage surgery. This case report highlights the staged approach of horizontal ridge augmentation using autogenous block graft and hydroxyapatite (alloplast) and implant placement after one year.
