Advanced Oral and Maxillofacial Implantology

Bone Biology Harvesting Grafting For Dental Implants: presents all facets of bone augmentation in preparation for implant placement, including techniques for harvesting bone from the ramus, the anterior mandible, and the tibia; the various types of bone-grafting materials and their indications; step-by-step procedures for grafting the maxillary sinus and anterior alveolar ridge and for subnasal elevation and augmentation; and guidelines for the use of adjuncts such as platelet-rich plasma to enhance healing and predictability.

This comprehensive and timely monograph covers all established methods for vertical and horizontal augmentation of the maxillary and mandibular alveoli in preparation for implant placement, including grafting with bone harvested from both intraoral and extraoral sites; guided bone regeneration techniques; use of biomaterials; and augmentation with distraction osteogenesis.
