title: The bone-retention wedge graft: a new procedure.
abstract: The success of oral restorations supported by dental implants in regenerated bone is well documented, as is the use of bone grafts to augment deficient alveolar bone. This article describes the bone-retention wedge graft, which may be useful for increasing the primary stability of dental implants, preserving bone in postextraction sockets, and covering exposed implant threads.
