Implant bone reconstruction using allogenic bone grafts

t implant bone reconstruction using allogenic bone grafts is a technique based on, not only the bone regeneration advantages, but also those of the tissue increase to correct the bone volume lacks in the peri-implant areas. This is about an increase in width of the alveolar crest by adjunctions of allogenic bone grafts which are first adapted to the local tissues and then stabilized with microscrews. This technique should not be considered like a small variation of the guided bone regeneration technique (gbr), but rather like secured bone grafting, surgical process which has made its proofs with autogenic bone. If we compare the simplicity of this technique compared to the heaviness of the interventions for volume increase by autogenic grafts taken as blocks, we note – when we assess them in terms of risk – that it is the technique to use for patients not requiring too large bone restorations.
