"The Open Wound Bone Augmentation Concept with Amnion-Chorion Membrane"

Bone grafts will be placed in the patient's jawbone, along with a membrane to cover the bone grafts. A horizontal incision over the edentulous ridge crest will be made along with vertical incisions if indicated. Buccal and lingual full thickness mucoperiosteal flaps will be reflected to expose the alveolar bone. Intra-marrow penetration (decortication of the alveolar bone to increase vascular supply to the bone grafts) at the surgical site alveolar bone will be made with a high-speed hand piece and diamond bur. Bone allograft material will be placed to fill the alveolar bone defect. The bone graft will then be covered with a membrane and secured with sutures.
