What is bone grafting?

 

Once the tooth is removed, over a period of time the bone supporting it gradually gets resorbed. At this time there is a very low possibility that the bone could support the implant. A dental bone graft adds volume and density to your jaw in areas where bone loss has occurred. Bone grafting also promotes the growth of bone.

 

Who needs a dental bone graft?

A person with bone loss in their jaw usually needs a dental bone graft. This procedure may be recommended if you:

·         Are having a tooth extracted.

·         Plan to replace a missing tooth with a dental implant.

·         Need to rebuild the jaw before getting dentures.

·         Have areas of bone loss due to gum disease.

 

Types of bone grafts:

·         Autogenous

·         Allograft

·         Xenograft

·         Alloplast

 

1.       Autogenous:

 The bone graft material may be taken from your own body.

 

2.       Allograft:

The graft material may be purchased from a human tissue bank.

 

3.       Xenograft:

The graft is used from an animal tissue bank.

 

4.       Alloplast:

The bone graft material may be synthetic.

 

How does the bone graft work?

Once the bone graft has been placed, it holds space for your own body to do the repair work. In other words, a dental bone graft is like a platform on which your own bone tissue can grow and regenerate.
