   MeSH:	ALVEOLAR RIDGE AUGMENTATION
   Abstract:	A permanent anchorage of dental implants needs sufficent bone for the expected osseointegration. If there is not enough bone we have to try to augment the structure. This is not difficult in the horizontal direction but often unreliable in the height. Different methods are described, and only a few with good prognosis. Clinical experience has shown that block-augmentation with autologeous bone- at least for the upper jaw- or vertical bone-distraction with internal or external distractors in superior to all other methods.

   MeSH:	DENTAL IMPLANTATION + methods
   Abstract:	Total toothloss causes a dramatic change in the alveolar bone. Deficits in the vertical and sagittal directions are a permanent challenge to the dentist as, they restrict the possibilities of treatment. The wish of the patient to have a fixed rehabilitation in understandable but often limited due to the local situation. Surgical procedures to improve the bonebed are extensive and costly. Full bridges are often from the esthetical and functional point od view disappointing. Removable bridges or gum-free dentures with very different retention-elements seem to be in many cases the more reliable solution. Clinical cases explain the problems.

   MeSH:	DENTAL IMPLANTS BONE TRANSPLANTATION
   Abstract:	Modern dentistry without implants is unthinkable today. When using implants we need presurgical plannig to find the right place and the right angle for the artificial post. Planning not only depends on the superstructure but much more on sufficient bone structure, which is able to inegrate the implant and to distribute chewing forces without bone loss. In addition this surrounding bone must be able to maintain a healthy structure free of inflammation. For this we need vital bone. If there is no bone we have to create new bone. This is only possible with autogenous bone transfer. Many methods to gain and to augment the bone are recommended. Many clinical examples are used to demonstrate current methods and their advantages and disadvantages will be discuissed.
