Abstract
The current gold standard for bone grafting is autogenous bone, due to its biocompatibility, lack of antigenicity, osteoconductive, and osteoinducive properties. Radiography using cone-beam computed tomography for complex defects is useful in determining the amount of bone available and what bone augmentation technique will be needed. Many options for treatment of alveolar ridge defects are available, including varying surgical techniques as well as bone graft options.
