Abstract:

One of the dire needs in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) is craniofacial bone defects following loss of natural teeth, trauma, tumor resection and infections. Approximately over 50% of dental implant patients require ridge augmentation of resorbed alveolar bone prior to or at the time of implant placement. In OMFS, autogenous bone grafts have been considered the “gold standard” for regenerative procedures. However, due to the limitation of the supply and morbidity on the secondary surgical site, a substitute to autogenous bone grafts represents an acute medical need. Various allografts, xenografts and alloplast materials have been tested for decades. To date, no bone graft products in the market can meet clinical needs.
