Hi, I think the surgeons will be answering some of my questions, but I am still in consulting stages, and wonder if anyone has experience with bone grafts, sinus lifts, implants (and all of this must somehow be planned with orthodontics and orthognathics!) did you have autologeous bone, or bone-bank...
