Abstract:
Numerous experimental and clinical investigations have contributed to current protocol for the reconstruction of hard tissue defects of the face and jaws. Free transplantation of tissues from the same host is a viable option for these defects. This article includes a review of the literature for autogenous grafting and presents an example of this treatment with a 19-month follow-up. This approach is not the sole answer but is only one solution for this difficult problem.
