COMPARISON BETWEEN HETEROLOGOUS AND AUTOGENOUS BONE GRAFT

The sheet describes results for 7 patients aged between 34 and 65 who presented with horizontal atrophy of the anterior maxilla and who required implant- supported rehabilitation. Patients were grafted according to a split mouth design using two different grafts: an equine origin heterologous bone substitute in blocks (Bioteck) and autogenous bone blocks collected from the ascending ramus of the maxilla. A cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed at the time of the graft (T0), 15 days (T1) and 6 months (T2) after the operation. The CBCT made it possible to analyze the change in bone and graft volume between T2 and T1 and, at T2, to plan implant placement.
