Management of Necrosis Occipital Bone Graft After Augmentation In Atrophic Maxilla

Abstract

Alveolar atrophy and bone defects are very important problems to implant placement in jaws. Bone grafts are the most useful materials to augmentation this bone defects. Allografts, xenografts or alloplastic grafts may be used. Autogenous bone grafting is known as a gold standard for augmentation. If insufficient intraoral donor site, the graft is harvested from the extraoral site; iliac, calvarial or rib. Calvarial bone grafts are often an alternative option, reported to show less resorption, we reported that 78-year-old female patient with necrosis of calvarial graft in maxillary site. We presented management of calvarial bone graft necrosis in the maxilla.
