The role of cortical perforations in bone regeneration: a systematic review

The aim of this review was to determine the effect of cortical perforations in bone regeneration considering the surgical technique. An electronic search in the PubMed (MEDLINE) and ScienceDirect databases and a hand search of the literature was conducted covering the period July 2008 to December 2018. Studies that specified the creation of perforations in the recipient area as a study variable associated with the regenerative technique were included. The quality of the randomized clinical trials included in this systematic review was also assessed.
