viability of the bone tissue is maintained and can
begin osteogenesis. Another positive factor is the
utilization of autogenous bone tissue of membranous
and not of endocondral origin, a material known to
be more efficient because it has lower reabsorption
levels. [16]
The surgical technique described for the procurement of
particulate intraoral autogenous bone material is simple,
efficient and safe. The possibility of harvesting bone
graft while the implant site is being prepared allows
the procurement of the particulate bone without the
disadvantages of donor site morbidity.
