Title: Comparison of three methods of stabilization of particulate hydroxylapatite for augmentation of the mandibular ridge. Author: el Deeb M. Journal: J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 1988 Sep; 46(9):758-66. PubMed ID: 3166046. Abstract: This study compares stabilization of hydroxylapatite (HA) augmented atrophic mandibular ridges using no stabilization, an acrylic stent, and a red rubber urethral catheter (RRUC). Displacement of the HA particulates were seen in 60% of the cases where the stent was used, 30% where no stabilization was used, and in no cases when the RRUC was used.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
