Atrophic posterior maxilla and mandible: alveolar ridge reconstruction with mandibular block autografts.

A utogenous bone grafts have been used for many years for alveolar ridge augmentation and are still considered to be the gold standard for jaw reconstruction. 1,2 The use of these grafts with osseointegrated implants was originally discussed by Brånemark et al., who used the iliac crest as the donor site. 3 For repair of most localized alveolar defects, however, bone grafts from the mandible of...

Adrenal Medulla Autografts

In 1959, experiments were begun to provide a more physiological and permanent pacemaker for chronic heart block by placing an autotransplant of either adrenal medulla or thyroid gland into the ventricular myocardium of dogs with complete heart block. The original concept was that the small area of myocardium surrounding the endocrine transplant would be stimulated by relatively high local conce...

111 Autografts and Allografts

Clinical and histologic evaluation of the use of mandibular tori as donor site for mandibular block autografts: report of three cases.

The present paper reports on three patients who underwent localized alveolar ridge augmentation using block autografts harvested from the mandibular tori. Autogenous particulate bone graft was placed at the periphery of the block. Resorbable collagen membrane was placed above the graft material. Implant placement surgery followed at 6 to 16 months after bone grafting. During implant surgery, a ...
