Ultra-slow drilling to obtain autologous bone graft in implantological rehabilitation. A forgotten technique with great advantages

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Osseointegrated implants are currently the prosthetic treatment by predilection in the oral cavity when dental organs have been lost. Bone deficiency interferes with the placement of these prosthetic attachments; To solve this lack of bone tissue in alveolar ridges, autologous, homologous or heterologous bone grafting techniques are proposed. The ultra-low speed drilling without irrigation, it is possible to collect autologous bone at the time of preparing the surgical site before placing the dental implant, which provides the best properties for bone regeneration without the need for another wound or more morbidity for the patient. We describe our ultra-low speed drilling protocol step by step, obtaining autologous bone from the same surgical site to rehabilitate small bone defects around the implant reducing comorbidities and surgical times.
