Osteo-integratable dental implant systems were developed 25 years ago. The mean life of such implants is about 20 years when they are properly inserted for the right indications. The most important indication is the edentulous mandible, but also the toothless maxilla, the free-end situation in the case of bridges, and single-tooth replacement. Effective procedures have since been developed for eliminating bone deficits that once excluded the use of implants.

The use of autogenous bone grafts (ABG) combined with endosteal implants permits to restore patients with conditions of extreme bone atrophy or with very demanding final results. The improvement of the biomechanics conditions, moment forces, C/I ratio, ridge relationship, length, diameter, number and location of the implants and esthetics improve the prognosis of the restoration. Large segments of autogenous bone is harvested from the iliac crest or cranium.
