Description
Choi and co-authors review long-term results of widening the jaw ridge with pig bone grafts before placing implants. A ridge too narrow cannot hold an implant well. The study covered 49 graft sites with more than five years of follow-up. A deeper look covered 24 sites where pig bone was the only graft material used. Follow-up after the crown was fitted averaged 67.5 months.
Bone loss at the implant edge averaged 0.23 mm at one year. Over the full period it reached 0.40 mm on average. Two of 49 implants were lost, giving a survival rate of 95.9%. The authors judge the graft stable over the long term.
