Aumento verticale nelle atrofie mandibolari: evidenze scientifiche

Vertical bone regeneration can be achieved in the atrophic posterior mandible, but complications are frequent. Furthermore, it is not clear which technique is the best. When the atrophic mandible is totally edentulous, the best approach seems to be intraforaminal placement of short implants (8-11 mm). It is a relatively easy procedure that can be done on an outpatient basis and is associated with lower morbidity.
