Bone augmentation is used to supplement bone defects during dental implant treatment. In this technique, the area filled with bone prosthetic material is covered with an artificial space-making device or titanium mesh sheet, which must be manually adapted to the bone defect during the procedure before being fixed in place. Selective laser melting (SLM) method can be used to preadapt the titanium mesh sheet based on preoperative CT data. This method enables shorter surgery times compared with conventional titanium mesh sheet methods, as well as regeneration of an ideal alveolar bone shape. Here, we present 2 cases of bone augmentation using the SLM titanium mesh sheet method. The postoperative course was without complications in both cases; neither patient experienced mesh exposure or infection during healing. The SLM titanium mesh sheet method should be considered as a new and effective bone augmentation method.
骨增量用于在牙种植治疗中补充骨缺损。在该技术中，用骨修复材料填充的区域用人工造空间装置或钛网片覆盖，在固定到位之前，该装置必须在手术过程中手动适应骨缺损。选择性激光熔化（SLM）方法可用于根据术前 CT 数据预先调整钛网片。与传统钛网片方法相比，该方法可缩短手术时间，并使理想的牙槽骨形状再生。在这里，我们介绍了 2 例使用 SLM 钛网片方法进行骨增量的病例。术后过程在这两种情况下均无并发症；在愈合过程中，没有患者出现网片暴露或感染。SLM 钛网片方法应被视为一种新的、有效的骨增量方法。
