Here is a great technique to use when augmenting horizontal ridge deficiencies prior to implant placement. Dr. Block published an article (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15...) describing the technique presented in this video.
It is the horizontal augmentation of an edentulous ridge using a subperiosteal tunnel and osteoconductive, particulate bone graft. There is a significant decrease in the postoperative pain/swelling as compared to other horizontal ridge techniques, and it can be completed under local anesthesia within 30 mins. The patient was prescribed antibiotics and analgesics post operatively. This technique will not allow for the vertical augmentation of edentulous ridges. Thank you Dr. Block and to my OMS mentor, Dr. Kris Hart.
