Human Bone Repair After Mandibular Symphysis Block Harvesting: A Clinical and Tomographic Study

Abstract

The osteogenic potential of human osseous repair in the mandibular symphysis is size and time dependent. The process of osteogenesis of repair in humans seems to be multifactorial. Such factors as preservation of the periosteum and symphysis cortical midline may positively influence defect fill allowing for reharvesting.
