HANDS-ON 09:00 AM – 13:00 PM

Augmentative procedures are still a challenging subject in the field of oral implantology. The correct technique and the correct materials are an ongoing discussion. Beside autogenous bone grafts, allogenic bone blocks and cortical shells nowadays attract the attention of oral surgeons. Although it is still controversially discussed, there is more and more literature confirming the equality of allogenic bone in treatment outcomes compared to autogenous bone grafts. The main advantage of allogenic bone is its free availability and the lack of donor site morbidity. Clear indications, correct surgical procedures, and patient selection result in satisfying treatment outcomes.
