NOIA, Claudio Ferreira et al. Current considerations on the chin bone harvesting. Rev. cir. traumatol. buco-maxilo-fac. [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.1, pp. 21-26. ISSN 1808-5210.

The use of the chin bone graft in order to readjust atrophic alveolar regions is reported in the literature as a viable and predictable procedure with high success rates. However, works related to this type of graft covering the necessary care and especially the changes that the removal because the donor region are scarce. Therefore, the objective was case report seeking to address and discuss the changes that the removal of the graft in treatment can cause soft tissue contour of the region, the sensitivity of the soft tissue and pulp, and to discuss the potential for new bone formation and perception of patients treated with these changes.
