The iliac prefabricated composite graft for dentoalveolar reconstruction: a clinical procedure.
Prefabricated composite grafts were introduced in reconstructive oral and maxillofacial surgery in the mid-1990s. The purpose of this report is to introduce a novel technique-the iliac prefabricated composite graft-for reconstruction of the alveolar ridge simultaneously with masticatory attached gingiva and integrated implants in a single procedure. Clinical and immunohistologic results are reported and reveal this technique to be an attractive alternative in dentoalveolar surgery and implant dentistry.
