The rehabilitation of atrophic maxillae represents a challenge in implant dentistry due to the loss of bone volume and quality, which compromises the stability and success of dental implant placement. This study aimed to integratively analyze the performance of different biomaterials applied in bone grafts for the rehabilitation of atrophic maxillae, highlighting their contributions and limitations. An integrative review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, with searches in PubMed and BVS databases. Of the 382 studies identified, 19 were included. Autogenous grafts remain the gold standard, though they are limited by morbidity. Xenogeneic and alloplastic biomaterials preserve bone volume but exhibit slower integration. Composites stand out by balancing biological and mechanical properties. It is concluded that the choice of biomaterial should align with the patient’s clinical conditions, and advancements in bioactive scaffolds hold promise for overcoming current limitations.
