Central Incisors Narrow Implants in Alternative to Bone Augmentation With 4.2 mm Implants .

July 14, 2019 updated by: Alpha - Bio Tec Ltd.

3.2 mm Diameter Implants and Soft Tissue Grafts in Alternative to Horizontal Bone Augmentation for Placing 4.2 mm Diameter Implants at Central Incisors. A Multicenter Randomised Controlled Trial

Horizontal bone augmentation procedures are commonly used to increase bone width to allow the placement of dental implants or to improve aesthetics in deficient areas. Smaller diameter implants could be used instead in order to avoid bone augmentation procedures.

The comparison between these two solutions will be evaluated in the trial.
