Bones and teeth are the only structureswithin the body where calciumandphosphate participate asfunctional pillars. Despite their mineralnature, both organs are vital and dynamic. The aim was to remark the indications for alveolar augmentation after tooth extraction and prior the placement of endoosseous dental implants. The autograft, allograft, alloplast, and xenograftmaterials all have reported success, alone or in combination,for particulate bone augmentation. Theparticulate autograft is the gold standard for mostcraniofacial bone grafting, including the treatmentof dental implant–related defects. Advantages of alveolar ridge augmentation with sufficient bone volume to adjust for uncompromised and esthetic implant placement, renders these procedures more than effective for majority of patients. Surgical reconstruction of the tissues and the procedure of ridge augmentation and subsequent placement of dental implant are necessary.
