The use of the mandibular symphysis for harvesting intraoral autografts in
implant reconstruction cases is based on the ample supply of donor material
, the proximity to the recipient site, and the ease of access to the tissue
. This article discusses the technique of successful bone harvesting from t
he mandibular symphysis. As with other harvesting techniques, morbidity can
occur This report demonstrates a low morbidity rate and presents guideline
s to help accomplish this.
