Seller-provided details for this listing.
Bone grafting is used to provide guided bone regeneration after tooth loss. The bone we graft in order to repair implant sites reduced by gum disease, injuries or previous dental work may come from either a tissue bank or sections extracted from the patients jaw, hip or tibia (below the knee). We can and frequently do also utilize this procedure to replace the posterior upper jaws bone structure. Special membranes that dissolve beneath the gum can encourage bone regeneration and project the bone graft through processes
called guided bone regeneration or guided tissue regeneration.
BONE LOSS AFTER EXTRACTION
After losing teeth, the associated atrophy and reabsorption of the jawbone leaves behind bone too lacking in quantity and quality to suit dental implants. Advancements in modern dentistry allows us to place implants of an appropriate length and width in bone we have grown ourselves where it is needed, preserving our chances to restore our patients functionality and confidence in their aesthetic appearances.
MAJOR BONE GRAFTING
Typically, major bone grafts repair jaw defects that follow traumatic injuries, tumor surgery or congenital defects usually using the patients own bone. Depending on the defects size, a doctor may harvest the bone surgically from one of several sites, including the skull, hip or lateral knee (tibia). Since this stage in the process is routinely performed in an operating room, this step will require a hospital stay.
