Alveolar bone; esthetics; hard tissue onlays; bone grafts; membrane techniques
Augmentation of the alveolar bone is widely used in implant treatment to create predictable
function and esthetics in areas with inadequate bone volume. This can be achieved by
various techniques including hard tissue onlays, bone grafts, membrane techniques, bone
distraction and bone expansion. The objective of this article is to discuss recent
observations of the various bone grafts and bone substitutes, guided bone regeneration,
combination techniques, as well as ridge preservation techniques.Despite the increase in the
number of procedures taht require bone grafts, there has not been a single ideal bone graft
substitute. An attempt is made to review the existing bone grafts, and the developments in
tissue engineering that may bring biologic alternatives to enhance the functional
capabilities of the bone graft substitutes.
