  • Title: Use of titanium mesh in lieu of a fixation screw to stabilize an autogenous block graft: a case report.
    Author: Kulkarni S, Thakur S, Kamath S, Kumar S.
    Journal: J Oral Implantol; 2013 Apr; 39(2):193-7. PubMed ID: 21534822.
    Abstract:
    Localized alveolar augmentation is carried out either before, during, or sometimes after implant placement. The placement of autogenous graft as a block or a particulate alone or in combination with an organic bone mineral has been practiced with a great deal of success. The block graft is secured in place with a screw and protected by a membrane. This case report describes the treatment of a female patient with a bucco-lingual bone deficiency grafted with autogenous block and a titanium mesh. Five months later, implant was placed in the grafted area. The definitive prosthesis was cemented 6 months later and followed up for 2 years.
