Abstract Purpose The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the success rate of staged localized alveolar ridge augmentation using titanium micromesh. In addition, the factors that influenced the success were analyzed. Methods Twenty-three alveolar ridges (posterior mandible 12, anterior maxilla 7, anterior and posterior maxilla 3, and posterior maxilla 1) were augmented using titanium micromesh and were retrospectively assessed. Results Thirty sites were judged as successful with a success rate of 56.6 % (posterior mandible 58.3 %, anterior maxilla 57.1 %, anterior and posterior maxilla 33.3 %, and posterior maxilla 100 %). The span of the augmentation site was significantly correlated with the success rate (goodness test of fit for chi-square, p5 mm, no/slight vertical resorption, b ridge width 2.5–5 mm, no slight vertical resorption, c ridge width 2.5–5 mm,
moderate vertical resorption, c-h ridge width >5 mm, extensive vertical resorption, c-w ridge width 5 mm, severe atrophy
77 months). Each alveolar augmentation was classified as successful according to the following criteria:
software package for Macintosh (SAS Institute Inc., NC). All p values
