Abstract

Bone resorption follows tooth loss and occurs in all three dimensions. Especially in the anterior region of the alveolar ridge, it can be a significant problem. Nevertheless, bone has a significant ability for regeneration due to the dynamic balance of osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity. Therefore, many different biomaterials and procedures are being used in bone augmentation with the aim to restore lost tissue and function.
