Abstract
Objective: Autogenous bone grafts are considered the gold standard due to their compatibility and osteogenic potential to induce new bone formation through osteogenesis, osteoinduction, and osteoconduction. The aim of this paper was to describe clinical applications of the maxillary tuberosity block autograft in small and moderate localized defects of the alveolar process around implants and teeth. Clinical Considerations: Maxillary tuberosity is often used as a particulate graft for augmentation of deficient alveolar ridge or maxillary sinus prior to or simultaneously with implant insertion, but not as a bone block graft. The maxillary tuberosity block autograft may also provide a valuable bone source for challenging situations such as immediate implant placement into types II and III extraction sockets, treatment of horizontal and vertical bone defects with simultaneous implantation, reconstruction of circumferential defects around implants, and preservation of alveolar ridge. Conclusions: The advantages of the maxillary tuberosity include intraoral corticocancellous autogenous graft with fewer intraoperative difficulties, no need for donor site restoration, less morbidity, and an excellent correction of localized alveolar ridge defects. Clinical Significance: Within the limitations of the presented case reports, the use of maxillary tuberosity block autograft has shown to be successful in alveolar ridges augmentation that lack both width and height.
