In this lecture, Dr. Polido explains the advantages and disadvantages of several main techniques (GBR, distraction osteogenesis, interpositional bone graft, onlay bone graft, growth factors) based on best evidence available in literature. He discusses the onlay bone grafting technique in depth from the perspectives of incision design, surgical access, flap mobilization and closure, bone graft dimension, selection of graft materials, growth factors, titanium mesh, etc. Recommendations about surgical techniques based on ITI Consensus Statements and complication rates for vertical bone augmentation complete the lecture.
