Abstract

Alveolar ridge augmentation is a common method to solve the problem of insufficient bone mass during implant treatment, while shaping bone substitutes during surgery, maintaining space and stability remain challenging. Digital bone block refers to a digital method for making bone grafts suitable for personalized defect shape. With the advancement of digital technology and the development of materials science, the means of realizing digital bone blocks have also undergone a series of updates. This paper summarizes the relevant researches in the past, systematically introduces the workflow, implementation methods, development history and future prospects of digital bone blocks, and provides suggestions and references for clinicians to use digital methods to improve the predictability of bone augmentation outcome.
