Abstract

The most recent and effective practice in the treatment of complete or partially edentulous patients is to use of dental implants, Surgical planning and implant long-term stabilityare related to both the quality and the quantity of the available bone tissue. Occasionally, analveolar ridge may not have the bone support to host a dental implant due to differentreasons, including periodontal disease, post-traumatic sequelae, or a tumour resection. Changes in the alveolar ridge after extraction often compromises on achieving best possibleimplant stability and placement of implants in the right prosthodontic position. Such situationsdemand augmentation of the residual ridge to achieve successful implant placement and longtermsurvival. Although the available literature speaks of an overabundance of techniques andagents for ridge augmentation, there is a relative paucity of quality evidence to guide the selection of suitable techniques and material. Further taking the consent of the patient to go for repetitive surgeries becomes difficult due to which placement of dental implant is often denied. These present clinical surveys were carried outand discuss to evaluate the problems, misconceptions and views of patient towards boneaugmentation surgery.
