The issue with Allografts: Facts that will change your practice

Understanding the use of allografts is crucial in modern dental implant surgery particularly when performing a bone graft . This video explores the implications of using bone grafting materials, emphasizing the importance of patient consent in oral surgery and implantology. Learn more about dental bone grafting.
