Abstract
The purpose of horizontal bone regeneration is to resolve the deficiencies/shortcomings of the buccal or palatal volume, prior or simultaneously to the placement of dental implants. Nowadays, there are different techniques to perform a bone regeneration, its selection depends on the characteristics of the clinical case that is going to be performed. Bone grafts can be classified according to their origin and their shape. Based on their origin, they are distinguished in autologous grafts, allografts, alloplastic materials and xenografts. Depending on the shape, they are distinguished in block or particulate, being mainly autografts and xenografts, respectively. The first studies on the subject, advocated the use of block autografts such as the Gold Standard in bone regeneration prior to implant placement. The purpose of this literature review was to compare the results obtained in terms of horizontal bone gain after regeneration of the anterior sector of an atrophic maxilla, with autologous block graft versus particulate xenograft. A bibliographic update is made on techniques of horizontal bone volume increase prior to the placement of implants, in order to compare the two techniques most used today.
