Alveolar ridge augmentation using the shell technique with allogeneic and autogenous bone plates in a split‐mouth design—A retrospective case report from five patients

Abstract

Abstract Atrophic alveolar ridges of five patients were augmented with allografts and autografts on opposite sites, followed by dental implantation. Both augmentation materials led to equivalent bone gains. Allografts did not compromise the clinical outcome.
