Customized bone blocks
We can mill an allogenic bone block, puros allograft, from femoral heads, this is known as the Tutoplast process. Blume JERD 2018

- RP service bureau processes data (Delta Prototipi, Milan, IT)
- Auotclavable nylon polyamide thermoplasitc prototype of recipient bed fabricated (Duraform PA, 3D Systems, Valencia, CA)
- Block (Puros J-Block) fabricated pre-surgical along with pericardium membrane (CopiOs Zimer) and pins Many use Bio-Gide

Antibiotics 1 day prior and 6 after so 1 week total
Complication management of dental block grafts
Block moving is a failure. Just remove the block.
Exposure at less than 6 weeks – Removal of exposed graft and re-approximate flap tension free.
Graft exposed with drainage – open debridement and membrane removal. New membrane and re-close.
Antibiotics for all of the above.
Fabrication of a bone block graft in office
Using allograft with a bone binder you can create a block graft. Step one is design the area you want the graft to occupy. Next you create a shell with a negatvie space that creates the block. Finally you simply fill the negative space and create your block. Mohamed Dent Today 2020
