Enxerto ósseo pela técnica de khoury – revisão narrativa

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: bone grafting is an essential procedure for the rehabilitation of weakened bone structures, aiming to restore chewing function and aesthetics. The Khoury technique is an approach that uses autogenous graft to increase bone density and ensure lasting support for implants, standing out for its effectiveness in areas with significant bone loss. OBJECTIVES: carry out a review of the literature on the Khoury technique, analyzing its specific advantages, restrictions and contributions to dentistry. METHODOLOGY: this narrative review analyzes scientific articles published between 2014 and 2024, selected from the Google Scholar, PubMed, SciELO and VHL Portal databases. Clinical studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses that address the Khoury technique and its applications in bone grafts were included. RESULTS: the Khoury technique proved to be effective in providing bone increase in both the vertical and horizontal dimensions, with a low rate of resorption and rapid healing, enabling quality bone integration and support for implants. The stability provided by the cortical bone of the jaw is one of its main advantages. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the Khoury technique is an effective alternative for the rehabilitation of patients with bone loss, providing advantages in terms of bone stability, healing rate and cost-benefit. This method makes it possible to obtain sufficient cortical bone, favoring success in osseointegration and dental rehabilitation.
