Overview

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure in which bone tissue or a substitute material is transplanted to repair, replace, or augment bone at a site of defect, loss, or injury, providing a scaffold that supports healing and the formation of new bone. In dentistry, it is widely used to rebuild the jawbone so that it can support dental implants, which require an adequate volume of stable bone. Grafting materials include the patient's own bone (autograft), donor bone (allograft), and synthetic or biologically derived substitutes (alloplasts and xenografts), each chosen for its ability to promote bone regeneration. In oral implantology, common procedures rebuild bone in the maxilla, and the journal publishes work on techniques such as the lateral window maxillary sinus lift using hydroxyapatite and beta-tricalcium phosphate, sinus augmentation with calcium phosphosilicate putty, and reconstruction of the severely atrophic premaxilla using recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 with titanium mesh. Imaging plays an important role, with studies comparing cone-beam computed tomography and orthopantomography in sinus augmentation and assessing bone allograft viability. Related research explores biomaterials and tissue engineering, including calcium orthophosphate and three-dimensional printed scaffolds, and adjuncts such as low-level laser therapy for bone remodeling. Together these studies reflect the materials, techniques, and diagnostic tools that underpin bone grafting in dental and reconstructive practice.
