Abstract
For the dental implant practitioner, one of the greatest limiting factors associated with implant placement involves the volume of available bone. Resorption of the ridge often leads to both horizontal and vertical deficiency of bone. If dental implants are placed in alveolar bone of limited volume, specific anatomic structures may be damaged as well as implants may integrate into inappropriate positions. This in turn may lead to both compromised function and esthetics. Depending on the size and morphology of the resorbed ridge, the provider can select from autogenous or allogeneic block bone grafts.
