Conditions
Summary
Khoury technique, which employs autogenous bone blocks harvested from the patient, has been widely used for horizontal and vertical ridge augmentation. This method introduces critical limitations, including the technical complexity, morbidity associated with donor site harvesting, such as infection, neurosensory disturbances, and post-operative discomfort This clinical case series aims to demonstrate how customized pours zirconium shell could be an alternative technique for ridge augmentation to overcome the limitations of Khoury shell technique.

- Motivated the patient to have the treatment.
- Good oral hygiene.
Exclusion Criteria4
- Patient with systematic conditions that could interfere with healing process.
- Pregnant females
- Smokers.
- Poor oral hygiene.
