Abstract

Aim: To assess the vertical height gain in atrophic posterior mandible using different forms of xenograft through an interpositional bone grafting procedure (sandwich technique). Materials and methods: Patient were separated into two groups, Group A (Study Group): received augmentation through the use of an organic bovine bone particulate. Group B (Control Group): received augmentation through the application of an organic bovine bone block. This study was conducted on 16 patients suffering from posterior mandibular partial edentulism with an inadequate bone height enough for favorable implant placement. The alveolar vertical dimension measured ranges from or equal to 5-8 mm from roof of the inferior alveolar canal to the alveolar crest. Both groups had equal percentages of both genders. Results: The mean age of the participants in the block group was (35.36±2.62) years, in the particulate group it was (36.07±7.23), and the variation was not significant (p=0.798). Measured bone height in the block group was greater than the particulate group with the distinction being significant after the end of the follow-up interval (p< 0.001). Bone height gain measured in the block group (3.83±0.31) (mm) was significantly greater than that measured in the particulate group (3.56±0.14) (p=0.047). Conclusion: Bone height gain measured in block group was significantly higher than that measured in particulate group.
