Onlay block bone graft for vertical augmentation is quite difficult and has been performed by only oral and maxillofacial specialists. In specific situation such as severely resorbed posterior mandible, there is no other choice for implant surgery except block bone graft. Onlay block bone graft for dental implant in the severely resorbed posterior mandible could be achieved when the principles of block bone graft are carefully attained. In this article, principles for onlay block bone graft with surgical procedure were described.
