TI  - The Palatal Bone Block Graft for Onlay Grafting Combined with Maxillary Implant 
      Placement: A Case Series.

AB  - The aim of this study was to introduce an intraoral bone block harvesting 
      technique--the palatal bone block graft (PBBG)--as an alternative harvest site 
      for autogenous bone blocks. The PBBG technique was used to onlay graft esthetic 
      zone defects simultaneous to implant placement in five patients. Measurable 
      objectives were used to evaluate outcomes, and treatment was reassessed at up to 
      6 years. Defects of the maxilla were successfully grafted with PBBG in all five 
      cases, and tissues remained stable at 1- and 6-year follow-ups. Harvesting an 
      autogenous bone block from the palate is an advantageous, predictable, and 
      reproducible method for augmenting buccofacial defects at implant placement, and 
      may be considered as an alternative to conventional intraoral bone block donor 
      sites when treating the maxilla.
