Bone discontinuity less than 6 cm.

Vertical jaws augmentation.

Bone discontinuity less than 6 cm includes any bone defects resulting from oncological resection of the upper and lower jaw or congenital malformations such as cleft palate.

Dentoalveolar defects without bone discontinuity include all those cases where, although there are no discontinuities, a bone augmentation is required because the native bone does not have sufficient height to guarantee the stability of the dental implants, such as in classes V and VI of Cawood’s classification of jawbone atrophies (Figs. 12–15) [29–31].
