[Local bone augmentations for the use of implants].

Placement of endosseous implants is often restricted because of lack of supporting bone, limiting placement of implants of adequate length in a prosthodontically optimal position. Several surgical procedures have been described to create sufficient volume of bone for placement of implants. In this paper, various techniques are described for harvesting intraoral bone grafts for augmentation of a localized defect of the alveolar ridge.
