SOBREIRA, Talvane et al. Allogenic bone grafts for reconstruction of Atrophic Maxilla. Rev. cir. traumatol. buco-maxilo-fac. [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.1, pp. 21-25. ISSN 1808-5210.

With the advent of modern implantology has been increasing the use of block grafts for reconstruction of lost bone structures. The aim of this paper is to discuss through a case study of the alveolar ridge bone reconstruction using fresh frozen allogenic bone, from a bone bank in the reconstruction of a jaw compromised by increasing the thickness of the alveolar ridge, allowing, thus, the installation of dental implants and their prosthetic limbs. This type of bone graft offers major advantages such as elimination of the approach of a second surgical site and sufficient quantity of bone, which reduces the time and morbid ¬ ity. Therefore, the fresh-frozen allogenic graft is an alternative for the reconstruction of atrophic ridges due to its ability to remodel, incorporation and quality that allow withstand functional loads when the installation of dental implants was concluded that graft is a viable, safe and less traumatic to the bone augmentation with rehabilitative purpose, although there is a need for more research on long term.
