Table 1. Bone integration classification of the impacted graft using the Exeter technique, as described by Coon et al 12 and Azuma et al 13 .

Osteointegration classification Conditions proposed for osteointegration classification
1 –Total graft osteointegration Total formation of a continuous trabecular template at the interface between the bone graft and the recipient bone, denoting the appearance of a new trabecular pattern similar to a normal bone structure in all areas of the impacted graft, followed by bone tissue reorganization, disappearance of the sclerotic line at the graft–receptor interface, and identical radiodensity between the graft and the receptor bone.
2 –Partial graft osteointegration Partial formation of a continuous trabecular template at the interface between the bone graft and the recipient bone, denoting the appearance of a new trabecular pattern similar to a normal bone structure in part of the impacted graft, followed by bone tissue reorganization, partial disappearance of the sclerotic line at the graft–receptor interface and partially identical radiodensity between the graft and the receptor bone.
3 –Absence of osteointegration There was no graft osteointegration.
4 –Inability to evaluate osteointegration Impossibility to visualize the grafts due to the presence of screens or other prosthetic devices.
