Abstract
Objective: This study aims to address the advantages of performing grafts through autogenous bone. Methods: This is an analytical and descriptive study of bibliographic review, carried out through research on articles and monographs indexed in the scientific bases: Scielo, Pubmed, Bireme between the years 2003 to 2017. Results: According to the literature, or autogenous graft it is classified as a gold standard because of its unique characteristics not found in any other material: osteogenesis, osteoconduction and osteoinduction. It still has advantages like the low occurrence of infection does not present rejection by the recipient bed, lower cost, greater predictability and low reabsorption potential presenting the best clinical and biological therapy. However, a major disadvantage still present is the need for a donor area, the most common of which are the mental symphysis, mandible branch, maxillary tuberosity, skull cap, iliac crest, rib, tibia and fibula.Conclusion: As seen in the literature, the biomaterial that has the greatest ideal characteristics of a graft is the autogenous one, and in front of the bibliographical revisions was found success and proservation of the cases with the clinical protocol of the same one.
