description Purpose: The purpose of the study was to qualitatively and quantitatively assess bone regeneration potential of tentpole technique using beta tricalcium phosphate bone graft in vertically deficient alveolar ridges. Materials and Method: This prospective study comprised of 20 patients with vertically deficient alveolar ridges, wherein thirty one implants were placed. Tenting of the soft tissue matrix was done using titanium screws and beta tricalcium phosphate synthetic bone graft was filled in the vertical defect. Clinical and radiographic assessment was done at 1, 3 and 6 months. Preoperative biochemical analysis of Osteopontin and RANKL was done and then reassesed at 3 months postoperative. Bone core collected at 6 postoperative months, while removal of screw, was analysed histologically. Results: A significant gain in bone height of 2.87 ± 0.79 mm was seen at 6 months postoperative. All implants osseointegrated. Loosening of screw was seen in two patients.There was no postoperative wound dehiscence. Histologic analysis revealed new bone formation .There was no significant change in the levels of RANKL and Osteopontin at 3 months postoperative. Conclusion: This is a safe and effective technique for bone regeneration in vertically deficient alveolar ridges and has minimal complications. The regenerated bone has new and viable bone content and supports implant material. More studies with long term follow up are needed to assess the stability of bone after long term loading.
