Abstract: Objective: To compare clinical outcomes of ridge augmentation with half columnar block bone from ramus versus rectangular bone graft from chin. Methods: Patients were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 received half-columnar autogenous bone graft from ramus, and Group 2 received rectangular bone graft from chin. Changes of ridge width and height in recipient area were measured. Results: Forty-seven patients (61 implants) were included. Immediately after bone grafting, ridge thickness increased (3.9±1.6) mm in Group I, and (3.3±1.8) mm in Group II with no significant difference. Four months later, the horizontal bone resorption at alveolar crest had no significant difference between Group 1 (0.59±0.69) mm and Group 2 (1.13±1.6) mm, while at the level of 4 mm below crest, the horizontal resorption in Group 1 (0.03±0.96) mm was significantly lower than Group 2 (0.87±1.16) mm. 1 year after loading, Group 1 exhibited significantly less marginal bone loss (0.13±0.65) mm than Group 2 (0.74±1.09) mm. Conclusion: Half-columnar group demonstrate a better bone graft stability than rectangular group at both 4 months after bone augmentation and 1year after loading.
