title: Autogenous maxillary bone grafts in conjunction with placement of I.T.I. endosseous implants. A preliminary report.
abstract: Small bone defects due to atrophic, traumatic or periodontal bone loss can be grafted with autologous bone grafts taken from the maxillary tuberosity. This study presents a 1-3 years follow-up of 22 patients who were treated according to this technique. Thirty-two implants were placed 6 months after bone grafting. All implants were functioning well at the time of investigation.
