CE: Are Nongrafting Solutions Viable for Dental Implant Treatment in Limited Bone Volume?
Lyndon F. Cooper, DDS, PhD; Ghadeer Thalji, DDS, PhD; and Sandra Al-Tarawneh, DDS, MS
This CE article considers the rationale for graftless alternatives, as well as the data supporting the use of various graftless protocols. The use of pterygoid, zygomatic, tilted, and short implants is discussed, as options for achieving osseointegration. The authors cite studies and systematic reviews that demonstrate a high degree of success for these treatment modalities, although these implants all have associated limitations that must be recognized in planning and placement.
