The Khoury technique is an innovative approach in bone reconstruction for implantology that offers several significant advantages. Firstly, it allows for more predictable and effective bone regeneration, which is crucial for the success of dental implants. This technique utilizes a block bone grafting method, providing robust structural support and enhancing implant stability. Additionally, the technique minimizes damage to surrounding tissues, reducing the risk of postoperative complications. Another advantage is that the Khoury technique facilitates the achievement of an adequate bone contour, contributing to optimal aesthetic results. It has also been shown to have a shorter healing time compared to traditional methods, allowing patients to recover more quickly. Furthermore, by using autologous grafts, the integration of the graft with the recipient bone is improved, increasing the long-term success rate of the implants. In summary, the Khoury technique stands out for its effectiveness, safety, and aesthetic outcomes, making it a preferred option in bone reconstruction for implantology.
