This research review paper discusses use of bone regeneration techniques to treat jaw inadequacies caused by various factors such as tooth loss, infections, tissue damage, neoplasms, or local trauma. The paper highlights the need for long-lasting repair of the hard/soft tissue interface and the use of xenografts and alloplastic bone substitutes as a safe and practical alternative to autologous graft retrieval. The limitations of dental bone grafts availability in market and alternative materials are also discussed, along with potential future developments of workable replacements due to the recent discovery of synthetic bone substitutes. Additionally, the paper focuses on the importance of the buccal bone plate of the alveolar process and its remodeling process, which can impact the success of implant surgery. Various dental approaches for buccal plate regeneration, including GBR and autogenous bone grafts, are also discussed. In order to aid in the development of new bone substitute materials with more desirable biological and mechanical properties, the paper aims to highlight the differences between what is currently available on the market and what would be thought to be the ideal bone substitute material of choice in the future.
