Simple‐Challenging‐Difficult ( <scp>SCD</scp> ) Difficulty Classification for Horizontal Bone Augmentation

Precise evaluation of defect morphology and quantification of residual osseous support are essential for planning the optimal regenerative technique. The proposed classification system provides a systematic framework to facilitate a more consistent and predictable management of horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation.

Abstract

Precise evaluation of defect morphology and quantification of residual osseous support are essential for planning the optimal regenerative technique. The proposed classification system provides a systematic framework to facilitate a more consistent and predictable management of horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation.
