With the help of the standardised Osseo Transfer System, the recipient site is adjusted to the graft, rather than vice versa as it is typically done. The aim of this study was to analyse donor-site morbidity after harvesting cylindrical bone grafts from the retromolar region using the Osseo Transfer System. The patient satisfaction with the surgical procedures was also evaluated. All patients treated with this standardised reconstruction method between 2006 and 2013 at the Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Giessen, were included in this study. Complications were recorded and evaluated. Bone graft success and patient satisfaction were documented with a questionnaire, and then confirmed by clinical and radiological follow-up examinations. Fifty-four patients were treated and 64 harvested cylindrical autologous bone grafts were transplanted. In all cases, dental implants could be inserted after bone healing. One patient lost an implant, associated with failure of the bone graft. Six patients who were examined continued to show neurological disorders in locally limited areas. No complete or long-term damage of the inferior alveolar nerve occurred. More than 94% (n = 52) of the patients were \u2018very satisfied\u2019 or \u2018satisfied\u2019 with the results and would recommend this surgical treatment to other patients. The standardised Osseo Transfer was an effective treatment option for small and mid-sized alveolar ridge augmentations. A low donor-site morbidity rate and a high transplant success rate were verified. The Osseo Transfer System demonstrated to be a reliable surgical technique without major complications. We highly recommend this surgical augmentation procedure as a surgical treatment for local bone defects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma12223802","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,19]],"date-time":"2019-11-19T11:30:17Z","timestamp":1574163017000},"page":"3802","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Donor-site Morbidity after Retromolar Bone Harvesting Using a Standardised Press Fit Cylinder Protocol"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0113-1128","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philipp","family":"Streckbein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, Justus-Liebig University Giessen, Klinikstr. 33, 35392 Giessen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mathias","family":"Meier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, Justus-Liebig University Giessen, Klinikstr. 33, 35392 Giessen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"K\u00e4hling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, Justus-Liebig University Giessen, Klinikstr. 33, 35392 Giessen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan-Falco","family":"Wilbrand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, Justus-Liebig University Giessen, Klinikstr. 33, 35392 Giessen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tobias","family":"Langguth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, Justus-Liebig University Giessen, Klinikstr. 33, 35392 Giessen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heidrun","family":"Schaaf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, Justus-Liebig University Giessen, Klinikstr. 33, 35392 Giessen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hans-Peter","family":"Howaldt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, Justus-Liebig University Giessen, Klinikstr. 33, 35392 Giessen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roland","family":"Streckbein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IZI - Institute for Postgraduate Education in Dental Implantology, Auf dem Schafsberg, 65549 Limburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9174-6435","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sameh","family":"Attia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, Justus-Liebig University Giessen, Klinikstr. 33, 35392 Giessen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Hypodontia: An update on its etiology, classification, and clinical management","volume":"2017","author":"Antoun","year":"2017","journal-title":"BioMed Res.
