ABSTRACT
Mineralized Plasmatic Matrix That Is Also Termed Sticky Bone Graft Is A Bone Graft Material With Structural Stability Rich With Growth Factors That Enhances Bone Regeneration Process, Technique Of Preparation Is Easy, Cost Effective, Maintains Grafted Bone Volume During The Period Of Healing Of Guided Bone Regeneration Surgeries. The Goal Of The Present Study Was To Evaluate And Assess The Effectiveness Of Mineralized Plasmatic Matrix (MPM) Versus Autogenous Bone Graft In Horizontal Ridge Augmentation Of Upper Deficient Anterior Region Together With Implant Insertion. Methods:Nine Patients With Total 20 Implant Sites Who Fulfilled Specific Inclusion Criteria Were Assigned Into Two Groups. According To The Surgical Technique Used, In The Study Group Implants Were Placed In The Horizontal Bony Defect In The Maxillary Anterior Alveolar Ridge, The Exposed Threads Were Covered By MPM, In Control Group Threads Were Covered With Autogenous Bone Graft And Collagen Membrane.Facial Horizontal Bone Width (FHBW) Was Assessed Immediate Postoperatively And After 5 Months In Both Groups Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography.

Results: Bone Loss Was Recorded In Both Groups After 5 Months Healing Time In Both Groups , Facial Horizontal Bone Width Loss Was Less In Cases Of The Study Group (mean 1.4 Mm), Compared To (1.6 Mm) In Control Group That Was Found Statistically Significant, P Value (0.047).
