title: [Clinical application of a self-developed bone collector in dental implantation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To introduce a self-developed bone collector designed by the authors and evaluate its effect in clinical application.
  
  
  METHODS
  A self-developed bone collector was used in 38 patients who underwent the dental implant operation from May 2008 to October 2009. During the operation the bone particles were harvested, which was used for the reconstruction of the bone defects around the implant simultaneously. The defects were fenestrate in 29 regions and triangle in 23 regions on buccal or lingual side of the dental implants.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All cases had no surgical wound infection and dehiscence 7 - 10 days after operation. Three to six months after implantation, the X-ray showed that all the dental implants had perfect osseointergration and the alveolar bone were successfully augmented.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Bone debris harvested by self-developed bone collector could repair small peri-implant bone defects, which is simple to use in clinic.
