Australian Dental Journal
June 2006 - Volume 51 Number 2REVIEWThe Australian Dental Journal – the first 50 years: a short history and commentary
The first dental journal in Australia was published in 1897 in Victoria and was titled the Australian Journal of Dentistry. New South Wales soon followed suit with the publication of several dental journals which eventually amalgamated into the Dental Journal of Australia. Later still, Queensland published its own journal under the title of The Australian Dental Mirror and, subsequently, the Queensland Dental Journal.

Often they have lost width of alveolus which does not allow implant placement without its augmentation. The mandibular ramus is one intra-oral site that can supply excellent quality and often quantity of autologous bone for use in augmenting alveolar ridge deficiencies. This article describes the general surgical principles in harvesting the mandibular ramus.
