What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone Grafting is a procedure that restores bone density and volume to parts of the jaw where it has been lost. There are three options
for bone transplant material: autogenous (from own body), allograft (from another human's body), and animal tissue bank (xenograft). Bone transplant material may be synthetic in some cases (alloplast).

Bone grafting restores lost jaw bone density using materials like autogenous, allograft, xenograft, or alloplast.

Procedure Pre:

Your dentist will do an oral exam to determine the condition of your teeth, gums, and jaw. Dental X-rays or scans clearly show bone loss in the jawbone. After that, you and your dentist will talk about your treatment choices and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

First, your dentist will administer a local anesthetic to numb the region. An incision in your gums is the next step. Pushing back the gums allows for a clearer view of the jawbone. After washing and sanitizing the area, your dentist will put bone grafting material to the deficiency to heal it. A membrane is often placed over the bone transplant to provide further protection. The gum tissue is then realigned, and the cut is closed with stitches.

Who Needs A Bone Graft?

In most cases of jaw bone loss, dental bone transplants are necessary.

Having a tooth removed may need this treatment.

Plan to replace a lost tooth with an implant.

Before acquiring dentures, jaw reconstruction is crucial.

gum infections.

loss of one or more teeth in adults.

when a person intends to go for dental implant procedures.

Sinus Lifting:

Having insufficient jaw bone to support dental implants may necessitate sinus lift surgery. Sinus augmentation and sinus transplants are other terms for this operation. Periodontists or oral surgeons undertake this operation. A dental expert can do sinus lift surgery in a variety of methods. In some cases, getting a dental implant requires a sinus lift and bone grafting as a first step. If you’re considering having your sinuses lifted, you have various options. Bone graft type and the doctor’s future dental implant placement plan play a role in which strategy is best for you and your situation. The procedure proceeds in the following manner:

Before the operation, you and your doctor will discuss the best course of action for you.

The dentist might give you oral or IV anesthetics to make you comfortable, and a dentist will numb the region with local anesthesia.

To gain access to the jawbone, your surgeon will create incisions in the rear of your gum tissue.

Your surgeon will make a tiny incision in the bone, taking care to avoid cutting into the sinus membranes.

Your surgeon will raise the membrane in the sinus cavity by lifting the sliced bone piece.

Research shows that having sinus lift surgery significantly increases the likelihood of having successful implants that will continue to function normally over several years. This surgery is relatively painless for the vast majority of individuals. Before the implant treatment, a specialist should thoroughly examine your jawbone health and discuss their sinus lift suggestions, procedures, and probable bone grafting materials.
