Advances in the Use of Synthetic Bone Augmentation Materials for Oral Implant-related Applications

Abstract

Insufficient bone in the implant area is a key factor in the outcome of implant restorations. Autogenous bone grafting has long been recognized as the "gold standard" in bone augmentation. However, the problems of secondary damage to the donor area, limited source, easy resorption, and high risk of complications have limited the use of simple autogenous bone in clinical practice. Finding and selecting good autologous bone substitution materials have become the trend of bone augmentation techniques. the use of bone augmentation materials can provide support and stimulate the process of bone augmentation in cases such as bone defects.
