Abstract:
In situations where bone is lost secondary to trauma, the use of a hand-carved silicone block provides good results. When bone grafting is undertaken, a well-defined membrane will have enveloped the implant. Incising the membrane allows easy block removal, and after freshening the bone ends, a cavity awaits the bone graft. This technique offers simplicity and adequate stability for therapy, and secondary bone grafting is facilitated by the created space.
