The received frequency ofpatients’ onlay grafting, autogenous block grafting, socketpreservation, guided bone regeneration, external sinus lifting, ridgesplit osteotomy, alveolar distraction osteogenesis, inferior alveolarnerve repositioning were evaluated in any process of the dentalimplant.Results: 3186 dental implants in 1086 patients were included tothe study. Among 295 patients, it was observed that the number ofmen was 144 (48.8%) and number of implants was totally 309(47.2%) implants, while the number of grafted implants in womenof 151 (51.2%) was 346 (52.8%). The numbers of graftingprocedures for augmentation are as follows; 286 (43.7%) onlaygrafting, 23 (3.5%) socket preservation, 9 (1.4%) guided boneregeneration, 271 (41.3%) open sinus lifting, 62 (9.5%) alveolarridge splitting, 2 (0.3%) alveolar nerve repositioning and 2 (0.3%)distraction osteogenesis.Conclusion: In this study, it was observed that the differentaugmentation procedures were applied to place the dental implant
