Abstract
- The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of HTRTM (hard tissue replacement, Bioplant Inc, U.S.A.) polymer on short-term healing as a grafting material for alveolar ridge augmentation. A 48-year-old female presented insufficient bone height and width for the placement of implants. HTRTM polymer was used for ridge augmentation. Bone biopsy was harvested 8 months after the ridge augmentation procedure. HTRTM polymer displayed rapid bone regeneration and mature lamellar and trabecular bone redevelopment. Clinical and histologic observations from the treatment of the patient presented suggest that HTRTM polymer seems to be a appropriate material for alveolar ridge augmentation.
