Patients who have reached the age of 18 and who receive bone augmentation of the jaw bone, either with an autologous bone block from the jaw angle or with an allogeneic, human bone block from a humanmdonor, at one of the two participating hospitals (Bundeswehrzentralkrankenhaus Koblenz, Universitätsmedizin Mainz) before a planned implant treatment are included. At the Bundeswehrzentralkrankenhaus Koblenz, both civilian patients and soldiers are included in the study. Both procedures are routinely used in the two participating hospitals as part of patient care.
Excluded from the study are patients who have not yet reached the age of 18, as well as patients who have received or have had bone augmentation of the jaw at another clinic outside of the two mentioned. Patients will only be asked if they wish to participate in the voluntary patient survey during subsequent follow-up.
