Abstract: Periodontal disease and other diseases often lead to the loss of teeth. Implant repair has become an important way to deal with this problem. In the process of implantation, insufficient horizontal bone due to alveolar bone resorption of mandible will adversely affect the repair process. In this paper, several common methods and their advantages and disadvantages for horizontal augmentation of the posterior mandible are reviewed.

Key words: implant, bone augmentation, posterior area of mandible
