Abstract
Ridge regeneration for implant therapy requires comprehensive site evaluation and wound healing monitoring. This case report aimed to demonstrate ultrasound (US) can image soft and hard tissues for surgical planning and assess longitudinal outcomes.
US was used in a patient planned for ridge augmentation to evaluate soft tissue thickness, location of muscle attachment, and hard tissue defect features pre-surgically. US were obtained at 1, 2.5, and 5 months afterward to assess tissue healing. Preoperatively, US showed ∼2.5 mm and ∼0.8 mm soft tissue thickness on the facial and lingual sides, respectively. The crestal bone width was ∼2 mm, with severe facial bone deficiency and high muscle attachment. US showed wound approximation and ridge width gain to 4.5 and 4.0 mm at 1 and 5 months, respectively. US tissue perfusion increased to ∼two-fold and ∼4-fold at 1 and 2.5 months and reduced below the baseline at 5 months. An implant with simultaneous bone augmentation was performed accordingly. Tissue phenotype around the implant were measured on US images at one-year visit.
This case report demonstrated that US parameters could be valuable for planning and wound healing outcome assessment of ridge augmentation in clinical as well as research settings. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
