Abstract: A regenerative device can include a first side section, a second side section, and a top section extending between and connecting the first side section and the second side section. The top section and the first and second side sections can each be formed from a porous material that retains its structure after implantation in the patient. The regenerative device can be used for ridge augmentation of a maxilla or a mandible. The top section can include an opening configured for receiving an implant. The porous material can be permanently implanted in the mouth and promote bone regeneration or ridge augmentation. One or both of the first and second side sections of the device can include one or more openings or apertures for receiving a fastener to secure the device to the alveolar ridge.

Abstract: Techniques described include, for example, a computer implemented method of recording dental implant information that includes displaying a dental implant surgical reporting template on an electronic device having a display and a user interface, receiving, using the user interface, first information corresponding to a dental implant surgery, accessing a database to retrieve data using at least some of the received first information, populating at least one field in the displayed template with the retrieved data, and generating a report for a dental restoration specialist, the report including at least some of the received first information and the retrieved data.
