3. INTRODUCTION
The primary goal of periodontal treatment is the
maintenance of the natural dentition in health and
comfortable function.
When periodontal disease has caused a loss of the
attachment apparatus, optimal care seeks to regenerate
the periodontium to its pre-disease state.
Regeneration is natural renewal of structure, produced by
growth & differentiation of new cells & intercellular
substances to form new tissues or parts.

4. Different surgical methods have been proposed to treat
bone deficiency
Guided bone regeneration technique
Bone graft
Distraction osteogenesis
Among these surgical procedures, bone reconstruction
with onlay bone graft is most versatile as it can be used
to treat the vast majority of defects irrespective of
variables such as type of atrophy and extent of the defect,
and clinical results are favorable and stable in time either
for the reconstructed bone and for implants placed in the
reconstructed areas, with implant survival rates ranging
from 90 to 100% for rough surface implants

5. WHAT IS GRAFT ??
A viable tissue that after removal from a donor site is
transplanted with in a recipient tissue is then restored
repaired & regenerated.
Procedure used to replace / restore missing bone or gum
tissue is called grafting.

13. STRUCTURE OF BONE GRAFT
Cortical bone grafts are used primarily for structural
support, and cancellous bone grafts for osteogenesis.
Structural support and osteogenesis may be combined
this is one of the prime advantages of using bone graft.
Probably all or most of the cellular elements in grafts
(particularly cortical grafts) die and are slowly replaced
by creeping substitution, the graft merely acting as a
scaffold for the formation of new bone.
In hard cortical bone this process of replacement is
considerably slower than in spongy or cancellous bone.
Although cancellous bone is more osteogenic, it is not
strong enough to provide efficient structural support.
2/6/2019
13
onlaybonegraft
14. Once a graft has united with the host and is strong
enough to permit unprotected use of the part, remodeling
of the bone structure takes place commensurate with
functional demands.
Bone grafts may be cortical, cancellous, or
corticocancellous. If structural strength is required,
cortical bone grafts must be used. However, the process
of replacement produces resorption as early as 6 weeks
after implantation.
Drilling holes in graft does not appear to accelerate the
process of repair, but it may lead to early formation of
biologic pegs that enhance graft union to host bone.

44. CONTRAINDICATION
Extensive sagittal misrelationship between maxilla and
mandible, which can not be compensated by calvarial bone
grafts because of the limited thickness of such grafts and thus
requiring other surgical procedures (e.g., onlay grafting with
thicker iliac bone grafts or le fort I osteotomy)
Extensive vertical misrelationship between maxilla and
mandible, which can not be compensated by calvarial bone
grafts because of the limited thickness of the grafts and thus
requiring other surgical procedures (e.g., distraction
osteogenesis)

45. ILIAC CREST
The iliac crest is an ideal source of bone graft
because it is relatively subcutaneous, has natural
curvatures that are useful in fashioning grafts,
has ample cancellous bone, and has cortical bone
of varying thickness. Removal of the bone
carries minimal risk and usually there is no
significant residual disability. The posterior third
of the ilium is thickest.
Large cancellous & corticocancellous graft may be
obtained from anterosuperior iliac crest &
posterior iliac crest

46. Anterior iliac grafts
Large grafts of cancellous & corticocancellous bone can be
harvested from anterosuperior iliac crest.

muscles. Subperiosteally, dissect the abdominal
musclature & subsequently iliacus from inner wall of
ilium.

gluteal region to lift the iliac wing away from the operation table.
A gentle upward pull is made using
the edge of ulnar aspect of the hand placed on the iliac
fossa to lift upward the skin over iliac crest
A marker is used to mark the skin that lie over the iliac
crest from the anterior superior iliac spine to the
posterior superior iliac spine

48. Incision is made over the mark and deepened to the
deep fascia, which is incised.
A small blade osteotome (1cm wide blade) is used
to elevate the musculofascial attachment of the abdominal wall muscles to the iliac
crest with about 2mm of bone thickness
The length of the graft will
determine the extent of the incision.
The use of small blade osteotome will allow for osteotomy line to follow the curve
of the iliac crest or a thin narrow blade saw should be used

51. ALLOGRAFT
Harvesting procedure for autograft requires surgery at a
donor site & resultant increased morbidity, operative
time & cost.
Allogenic graft harvested from cadaver have proven to be
clinically useful when aultologous bone is limited.
Only FDBA is used in onlay grafting.
DFDBA does not provide structural support.

57. FATE OF BONE GRAFT
Once the material is placed in the bony defect it may act
in a number of ways which may decide the fate of the
graft material.
The various possibilities include:
Bone graft material may have no effect at all.
The bone graft material may act as a scaffolding material
for the host site to lay new bone.
The bone graft material may itself deposit new bone
because of its own viability.
