Abstract
- Recent development of dental implantology has taken an interest in the bone graft procedure. This is a review of literature, published from 1994 to November 1999. This study is provided by MEDLINE search. In this study, 718 patients received 829 graft with placing 2,677 endosseous implants. In mandible, nonvascularized or vascularized block bone grafts provided better results (success rate 95.2%) than particulate grafts(83.6%). But in maxilla, particulate grafts provided better results(93.7%, 86.2%) and more cases especially in sinus elevation. There were many cases using autogenous bone graft and revealed good results, but allogenic or alloplastic bone graft materials also were used by many surgeons.
