Vertical bone augmentation: Khoury technique with computer guided autogenous bone harvesting
Posterior mandible is one of the most difficult sites to graft, especially in the vertical direction. In those cases autogenous bone is recognized to be the gold standard in bone augmentation procedures for its incomparable biological properties. Bone harvesting and vertical bone augmentation is a very skill-dependent technique and this fact create an important limitation for many clinicians. The presentation will show the Khoury technique to augment the posterior mandible and use of the digital technologies to perform the bone harvesting procedure in a computer guided way.
