Maxilla Augmentation With Calvarial Bone
February 2020
TLDR Using calvarial bone for maxilla augmentation is less painful and allows for single-procedure dental implants.
The document discussed a method for maxilla augmentation using calvarial bone to address the issue of insufficient bone for dental implants in the upper jaw, which was a problem for individuals without teeth. Traditionally, bone from the iliac crest was used, but this procedure was painful and required multiple surgeries. The new method using calvarial bone resulted in less pain and allowed for simultaneous maxilla augmentation and implant placement in a single procedure.
