Ti-Mesh Frame Comparison for Alveolar Bone Augmentation

CAD-CAM technology which is the process of designing and manufacturing a custom-made dental device, or a patient-specific dental device from an industrialized product, with the aid of a computer.will be used to plan and preprint a 3-D Ti-Mesh frame prior to the surgery.

A three-dimensional frame or cage of Ti-Mesh or Ti-reinforced d-polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) will be fashioned during the surgery to contain, shape and stabilize the bone graft materials (the internal scaffold). This 3-D frame will be custom fabricated from a perforated Ti Mesh sheet material at the time of surgery which takes considerable time and skill.
