Bone Ring Technique

Abstract

This thesis reviews the Bone Ring Technique as a one-stage method for simultaneous alveolar ridge augmentation and implant placement in deficient ridges. It summarizes the biological rationale, surgical protocol, and clinical indications of the technique. The work compares autogenous, allogenic, and xenogenic bone rings and discusses their advantages and limitations. Clinical evidence regarding bone gain, implant survival, and complications is analyzed. The thesis concludes that BRT is a time-efficient and predictable alternative to conventional staged augmentation when applied in properly selected cases.
