Complications in Bone Grafting

Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

Autogenous bone grafts continue to have wide use for reconstructing alveolar defects because of the many advantages associated with them. Although complications are low, the harvesting of bone grafts does have the risk of morbidity, which varies based on the harvest site chosen. Patients should be informed of possible complications associated with bone harvest as well as complications that many develop at the grafted site.
