The Inlay Technique With an Allograft Block Used for the Rehabilitation of an Atrophic Posterior Mandible: A Case Report

Clinical Advances in Periodontics
Vittorio Checchi, Pietro Felice

Abstract

To the best of the authors' knowledge, this case report is the first in the literature to describe the reconstruction of a severely atrophic poster mandible using an allograft block in the inlay technique. Differently orientated osteotomic cuts were performed in order to coronally elevate the osteotomized bony segment. An allograft block was then shaped and placed between the segment and the basal bone. Only 2 months after the grafting procedure, the allograft seemed to be well integrated and two dental implants were placed. In this clinical case, after only 2 months, allograft block seemed to be an effective material for the reconstruction of the posterior mandible with the inlay technique.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
