“…Rosenthal and Buchman (2003) demonstrated that inlay bone grafts exhibit increased volumes with time, in contrast to onlay bone grafts which resorb with time .ln addition these authors ( Rosenthal & Buchman ,2003) have also shown that when the bone grafts are placed as an inlay, there is no significant advantage of cortical bone grafts over PBCM grafts with regard to bone graft volume maintenance. However, when bone grafts are placed as an onlay, the cortical bone graft maintained a higher bone volume (Ozaki and Buchman, 1998).It is also clear in the literature (animal studies and clinical trials) that inlay bone grafts maintain greater bone volume when compared to onlay grafts (Ozaki and Buchman, 1998).…”
