Innovative reconstruction protocol for complex alveolar ridge defects in posterior mandible: Case Report and technical analysis
This novel staged protocol integrates <i>in situ</i> bone grafting with PRF-based soft tissue augmentation, specifically designed for posterior mandibular knife-edge ridges. By systematically combining these techniques, it eliminates donor site morbidity while achieving clinically significant tissue augmentation, offering practitioners a comprehensive autologous reconstruction approach that addresses the unique anatomical constraints and dual tissue deficiencies characteristic of this challenging region.
