SALMERON ESCOBAR, J.I.. Preprosthetic surgery: A critical analysis. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2007, vol.29, n.4, pp.228-239. ISSN 2173-9161.

One of the greatest problems in dental implantology is the various defects of the jaw bones, which can hinder the placement of implants or that can lead to faulty placement. The methods for bone augmentation have been, and still are, diverse and sometimes magical products appear for regenerating bone that are of dubious efficiency. The aim of this article is to analyze the principal methods of preprosthetic surgery such as bone grafts and alveolar distraction, and to carry out a critical analysis based on personal experience and the current literature.

Palabras clave : Preprosthetic surgery; Bone graft; Alveolar distraction; Dental implants.
