It was reported that a case series study was conducted.The case series evaluated the treatment outcome of maxillary anterior lateral ridge augmentation with rhbmp-2/acs, using support screws for space maintenance.Twenty patients with a maxillary anterior deficient edentulous ridge spanning two or more tooth sites or requiring extraction of two or more contiguous teeth with 50% or greater vertical alveolar buccal cortical plate loss (dehiscence) were treated.Mucoperiosteal flaps were reflected after a beveled palatal incision over the defect crest, crevicular incisions at adjacent teeth, and vertical releasing incisions were made.Teeth requiring extraction were removed atraumatically.Following debridement, bone-block fixation screws (straumann) were inserted into the alveolar ridge approximately 4 mm from the ridge crest.In general, one fixation screw was used for each edentulous space; however, in concave defects occasionally two fixation screws were used.The rhbmp-2/acs (infuse bone graft, medtronic) was prepared according to manufacturer instructions and cut into squares for ease of use.The graft was compressed until it extended above the fixation screws.The mucoperiosteal flaps were repositioned and sutured with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ptfe) sutures.Postsurgical periorbital edema was observed in all but two surgeries performed and resolved completely within 2 weeks.
