Advances in bone grafting techniques for dental implants: A comprehensive review

Abstract

Successful implant placement is highly dependent on the quality and quantity of available bone in the implant site. In cases where patients present with inadequate bone volume, bone grafting procedures have become essential to create a suitable environment for implant integration. This comprehensive review article aims to provide a detailed overview of the latest advances in bone grafting techniques for dental implants. The review also explores different bone grafting procedures, such as guided bone regeneration (GBR), sinus lifts, and socket preservation, with an emphasis on the key principles, indications, and surgical techniques involved.
