Bone graft- A face changing trend in dental implants
Overview
Bone grafting is a recently emerging surgical procedure that uses transplanted bone to repair and rebuild diseased or damaged bones. A bone graft is a choice for repairing bones almost anywhere in your body. Tissue engineering hybrid constructions with enhanced bone regeneration ability are emerging areas of development, suggests
A study published in the Molecules revealed, after tooth loss, bone resorption is irreversible, leaving the area without the adequate bone volume for successful implant treatment. Bone grafting is the only solution to reverse dental bone loss and is a well-accepted procedure required in one in every four dental implants.
A dental bone graft adds volume and density to your jaw in areas where bone loss has occurred. The bone graft material may be taken from your own body (autogenous), or it may be purchased from a human tissue bank (allograft) or an animal tissue bank (xenograft). Research and development in materials, design and fabrication technologies have expanded over the years to achieve successful and long-lasting dental implants for tooth substitution.
