Abstract :
Alveolar ridge deficiency is considered a major limitation for successful implant placement. Various approaches have been
developed to horizontal augmentation of bone volume. This case report presents the medium-term results of one-stage guided
bone augmentation using an anorganic bovine bone (70%) and autologous bone (30%), placed in layers, in association with
resorbable collagen membrane for a subsequent implant placement. The patient presented with a localized horizontal ridge
defect in the posterior zone of the jaw. The clinical and radiographic presentations, as well as relevant literature, are presented.
