Dental Implants Gum Grafts & Dental Bone Grafts | Bruce's Story FAQ

What is a bone graft and how is it related to dental implants?

+

A bone graft is a surgical procedure that involves the placement of graft material to augment or replace bone tissue that has been lost or damaged. In the context of dental implants, bone grafting for dental implants is necessary when there is insufficient bone in the jaw to provide a stable foundation for the implant. This situation can arise due to various factors, including gum disease, tooth loss, or trauma. The graft material can be sourced from the patient, a donor, or synthetic materials.

Why might a patient need a bone graft before dental implant surgery?

+

Patients may require a bone graft before dental implant surgery due to bone loss in the jawbone. This can occur as a result of long-term gum disease, which leads to the deterioration of the bone in the jaw, or as a consequence of missing teeth where the bone has not been stimulated by the roots of teeth. A bone graft serves to increase the amount of bone available, thereby providing adequate support for the dental implants.

What are the different types of bone grafts used in bone grafting for dental implants?

+

There are several types of bone grafts utilized in bone grafting for dental implants, including:
1. **Autografts**: This involves harvesting bones from another part of the patient's body, typically from the hip or chin, which is then placed in the jawbone.
2. **Allografts**: This type uses bone graft material sourced from a deceased donor, which is processed and sterilized for safety.
3. **Xenografts**: These grafts are made from animal bone, usually bovine, and are treated to be biocompatible with human tissue.
4. **Alloplasts**: Synthetic materials are used to create a graft that encourages the body to produce new bone.
