Autogenous bone grafts are the gold standard for bone augmentation procedures due to their osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and osteogenic properties. The use of autogenous bone eliminates the risk of disease transmission and immunological reactions.
The main advantages of using autogenous bone grafts include their excellent biocompatibility, low risk of infection, and high rates of graft incorporation and success. Additionally, autogenous bone grafts are osteoinductive, meaning they can stimulate the growth of new bone.
