Restoring Bone, Ensuring Implant Success
Bone grafting procedures are often essential when there is inadequate bone structure to support dental implants or when critical anatomical features, such as nerves or sinuses, obstruct the implant placement site. This procedure helps to restore bone volume and density, creating a stable foundation for the implants, ensuring a successful and secure outcome for long-term oral health.
Restoring Bone for Optimal Implant Placement"
Today, bone grafting procedures have become almost an integral part of implant reconstruction. In many instances, a potential implant site in the upper or lower jaw does not offer enough bone volume or quantity to accommodate a Rootform Implant of proper size or in the proper place. This is usually a result of bone resorption that has taken place since one or more teeth (if not all) were lost. Bone Grafting procedures usually try to re-establish bone dimension, which was lost due to resorption.
Growing Bone, Restoring Function and Aesthetics
Many years ago the lack of bone posed a considerable problem and sometimes implant placement was impossible because of that. Today, however, we have the ability to grow bone where needed. This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants of proper length and width (and for Rootform Implants we always try to go for as long and wide as possible), it also gives us a chance to restore the esthetic appearance and functionality better.
Type of Bone Grafting Materials
With respect to the Bone Graft material used, we have to differentiate between several choices. All materials can be categorized into five different categories:
Each of the bone graft materials is usually developed with a specific purpose or advantage in mind. Your surgeon will make a decision with respect to the bonegraft material, based on your individual needs and the latest research in that field.
