Reconstrução maxilar com enxerto ósseo de calota craniana: relato de caso

Abstract

The reconstruction of extensive bone defects with autogenous bone graft for posterior rehabilitation with osseointegrated implants has been widely used. Among the donor sites frequently indicated in these situations are the iliac crest bone, ribs, tibia and cranial calotte. Autogenous bone grafts have as their main characteristic their osteogenic, osseoinductive and osteoconductive capacity being considered the gold standard for large bone reconstructions. The choice of the bone graft of the skull cap allows the obtaining of a large amount of cortical and small bone marrow, with less bone resorption, without major complications to the patient. We will present the case of a female patient, who underwent reconstruction of the atrophic maxilla with autogenous graft of the skull cap.
