Study Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to propose a modification of the original periostal pocket flap technique consisting in replacing the xenograft by a conglomerate which contains autologous bone obtained from the future implant site through biological drilling technique and PRGF (Plasma Rich in Growth Factors)
Detailed Description
Materials and methods
8 patients referred for implant placement and with a slight bucco-lingual (BL) width deficiency in alveolar bone were included in the study. Patients were placed dental implants and bone width was augmented by using the conglomerate mentioned above.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Volume of bone augmentation
Time Frame: 4 months
Volume of bone augmentation of the surgical sites was measured in the postoperative parasagittal CT scans using a region of interest (ROI) containing the entire bone box regenerated area using the closed polygon tool of the OsiriX software
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
