Reconstruction Grafts for Alveolar Ridge

In reconstruction procedures in Dental Implant Cases, autogenous grafts are preferred to allogenic materials. It has been accepted by several implantologists that the main handicap with autogenous grafts is the secondary wound site. There’s an increase in infection risk in the donor site from which the graft is taken.

There also an alternative method of creating sufficient bone volume to allow reliable implant placement. The procedure is basically to sandwich bone grafts between the buccal and palatal cortices after carefully splitting the alveolar ridge.
