Clinical and Histomorphometric Outcomes of Bone Block Grafts Used for Alveolar Bone Regeneration: A Systematic Review

Despite advances in the field of implantology, severe alveolar bone  deficiencies still present a challenge to surgeons. Autogenous bone has long been considered the gold standard and most effective in bone regeneration due to its osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and osteogenic characteristics. Harvesting autogenous bone block grafts is associated with risk of dono r site morbidity, prolonged treatment time, possibility of injury to adjacent structures, and may involve a general anesthetic with hospitalization.
