A method for antral augmentation with a composite graft of freshly harvested iliac crest bone marrow and porous hydroxyapatite for implant placement is described. The volume, cellular type, particulate composition, and density of the graft permit rapid implant placement and integration when compared with totally synthetic grafting procedures. A clinical report is presented.
