Abstract
Osseintegrable implants are increasingly becoming a safe option for the rehabilitation of total or partial edentulous patients. There are a variety of bone substitutes available with different mechanical and biological properties. They can be classified into the following three groups: Autogenous, from the same individual; Allogeneic, of different individuals but the same species; Xenogenous, the different species, and Synthetic or Alloplastic which is produced synthetically. Bone substitute materials have increased in popularity and replace autografts in bone augmentation procedures, in order to overcome limitations related to their use. Not all patients are willing to donate their own bone, so bone substitutes have been developed to overcome these problems. The ideal bone graft is one that has a limited source, lack of morbidity at the donor site, does not offer a risk of disease transmission, has efficient bone repair, immediate stability, versatility, easy handling, adequate life span and affordable cost. The objective of this bibliographic review was to make a critical analysis of the different types of grafts that have been used in the restoration of bone defects in implantology.
