If you are considering getting dental implants, you have likely heard about bone grafting. This procedure is sometimes necessary to create a strong foundation for implants. You may be curious about this treatment method that your dentist recommends. Understanding this process will help alleviate your concerns and help you make an informed decision about your treatment.
Bone grafting is used to restore damaged and lost bone and strengthen the jaw so that a dental implant can be safely placed. When a tooth is missing for a long time, the bone in that area can shrink. Gum disease, injuries, or naturally low bone density can also cause you to not have enough bone to support an implant. In these cases, bone grafting is necessary. The procedure involves placing natural or synthetic bone material in the affected area. Over time, this encourages new bone growth, creating a solid foundation for the implant. Depending on the varying conditions, different grafting techniques such as socket protection or sinus lift can be used immediately after tooth extraction to create more space in the upper jaw.
Before this procedure, the doctor may check the person's dental health in detail and request an x-ray.
After all the examinations are done, the patient is informed about the operation, then depending on the type of anesthesia, it may be stated that they should not eat anything for 12 hours before the procedure.
On the day of the surgery, after local anesthesia is applied, it is ensured that the numbness is fully achieved.
Then, the gum is incised and pushed back, and the jaw area is cleaned and prepared for the placement of the material.
The previously taken material is placed between two bones and its growth there is a critical stage.
It is also important that this material placed in the area is specially fixed. The gum, which is initially lifted, is put back in place after the procedure and the incised area is stitched.
In some special cases, the patient may need to be observed in the clinic after the surgery. All applications can be applied to the patient in three different ways and these methods can be listed as follows;
It is one of the most commonly used methods and is performed especially if a tooth is to be extracted to minimize tissue damage.
Block bone graft is mostly performed in cases where the jaw section has suffered serious damage. During this procedure, material is obtained from the skeletal mesh taken from the wisdom tooth section. In addition, according to the studies conducted, it is observed that the success rate of this procedure is higher in the front jaw section.
This procedure is preferred when an implant will be made in the upper jaw section and there is not enough bone tissue. Another name for the procedure is sinus lift. In this process, the sinus membrane is pulled upwards by the dentist and material is placed in the created area. In the final stage, the jaw bone is integrated with the material powder placed in this area.
