Partially or totally edentulous jaws frequently undergoes from moderate to severe bone atrophy with problems of prosthetic rehabilitation. The inability make a rehabilitation on implants may led the use partial total removable denture difficulties in eating and speech, ulcerations oral mucosa loss facial vertical dimension. These be solved performing augmentation procedures. Bone grafts distraction osteogenesis brought implant dentistry an experimental practice become consolidate dental procedure. grafts, particular, are currently valuable treatment modality for Numerous biomaterials have been developed partially fixed dentures. aim this paper is describe augmentation. Biomaterials gradually resorbed by osteoclasts replaced new formed through osteoblastic activity. Many studied, but most common as follows: Allogro®, Algipore®, Osteobiol®, Peptide-15, Engipore®, Medpore®, Osteoplant®, Calcium sulfate, Perioglass®, Bio-Oss®, phosphate.
