This study is a review of the specialised literature regarding the intraoral autogenous bone grafts used in oral implantology. 382 abstracts of scientific papers, 71 full-text scientific articles and 9 specialized books, out of which 113 included in the references, were studied. The area behind the mandibular third molar, the posterior buccal area of the mandible body and the mandibular symphysis are the most frequently used sites for intraoral block bone harvesting. The mandible should be the first choice in the intraoral donor site selection for peri-implant augmentation, if the quantity of bone that is going to be harvested is considered to be enough.
