Abstract

The regeneration of bone defects is a major challenge for the biomedical area, because many lesions produce functional’s or aesthetic’s sequelae which reduce the affected individuals’ quality of life. Thus, the use of bone grafts can be employed in an attempt to regenerate the lost bone tissue. Autogenous bone grafts are elected to be the first choice, due to its efficiency, biosecurity and availability to acquire. However, they present some disadvantages and limitations. The use of homogeneous grafts from bone banks proves to be a useful tool for dentistry, in order to regenerate the lost bone tissue jaws. The objective of this paper is to conduct a literature review on the main bone grafts banks’ applications in Dentistry
