The mandibular second molar area provided the thickest cortical graft. A cortical plate of 2.8 mm in average at combined second and third molar areas provided 2.5 mL particulated volume. The use of a design software program can improve surgical treatment planning prior to ramus bone grafting. The AutoCAD software program did not overestimate the volume of bone that can be safely harvested from the mandibular ramus.

AutoCAD did not overestimate the volume of bone that can be safely harvested from the mandibular symphysis. The use of the design software program may improve surgical treatment planning prior to sinus augmentation.
