Bone Grafting 1 article

Bone Grafting in implant dentistry aims to create or preserve hard-tissue volume where the existing ridge is insufficient for the planned treatment. Techniques may include socket preservation, guided bone regeneration, ridge augmentation or sinus procedures using autogenous, allogeneic or xenogeneic materials with or without membranes. Wound closure, graft healing, volume stability and donor-site morbidity affect case selection. The subject ends with hard-tissue site development and graft-related healing or complications, not routine implant placement where native bone is already adequate.
