Autogenous bone harvest for implant reconstruction

Abstract

Autogenous bone harvest is the gold standard for restoring deficiencies of the recipient site. A deficient site requires adequate grafting before placement of implants; therefore, proper understanding of the wide variety of grafting options is the key to successfully planned implant dentistry. This provides general dentists with a better understanding of autogenous bone harvest and the variety of techniques available to provide the best outcomes for the patient.
