Bone grafting for dental implants is a surgical procedure designed to augment the amount of bone in the jawbone of patients who have experienced bone loss due to various reasons, such as periodontal disease, injury, or tooth loss. This procedure uses graft material to stimulate bone growth and provide a stable foundation for dental implants. The bone graft can be sourced from the patient's own body (autogenous), from a donor (allograft), or can be synthetic (synthetic bone). The goal is to ensure there is sufficient bone tissue to support a dental implant placement.
Patients may require a bone graft when they have insufficient bone in the jawbone to support a dental implant. This insufficiency can arise from several factors, including gum disease, prolonged tooth loss, or trauma. Without adequate bone volume, the dental implant may not be stable, leading to potential failure of the dental treatment. A bone graft procedure allows the dentist to restore the necessary bone tissue to provide a secure foundation for the implant.
There are several types of bone grafts used in dental implants, including:
Each type has its own benefits and is chosen based on the individual needs of the patient and the specific conditions of their dental health.
