Reconstructive preprosthetic surgery is, amongst others, aimed at the creation of an environment which is favourable to the construction of an implant supported prosthesis. Not in all cases the pre-existent volume of bone is sufficient to place an implant in the planned position. In this paper various techniques to augment local bone defects for reliable implant placement are described.
