Alveolar ridge deficiency is an unavoidable sequela of tooth extraction and poses major clinical challenges when reconstruction is anticipated. Various surgical approaches have been proposed to address horizontal defects, with autogenous bone grafting considered the current benchmark. However, alternative methods, utilizing tissue engineering principles and bone substitutes, offer reduced patient morbidity. This report presents an alternative case of severe horizontal bone defect augmentation in the anterior maxilla using sticky bone in conjunction with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), and a Ti-reinforced membrane. Histologic evidence of sticky, deproteinized bovine bone material (DBBM) mixed with PRF without the use of autogenous bone is reported.
