Bone Grafting

Armada Smile: Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is an extremely common method of treatment in dentistry and oral surgery. The disappearance or imperfect shape of the teeth or jaw itself impacts an individual's candidacy for dental implants or any other procedure related to the dentistry field. It is here that bone grafting can be employed to rebuild the lost tissue of the bone, which enables faster and more successful treatment for any type of dental deformity.

What is Bone Grafting?

It replaces bone or portions of bone in those areas where deficiencies are present with bone or bone-like materials. Bone grafting helps in the new generation of bone tissue; this becomes necessary for providing adequate support for dental implants and ensuring restoration of oral functionality.

For What Reasons is Bone Grafting Necessary?

A number of reasons may form the basis for the need for bone grafting:

Tooth Loss: Since the loss of teeth, over time the underlying bone could shrink, therefore calling for grafting to make a proper bed in preparation for the incoming implant.

Trauma: The jaw fracture or any other such accidents on the jaw bones may necessitate grafting as part of their treatment for normal functioning.

Periodontal Diseases: The very advancement of gum disease can lead to the loss of bones. In those cases, grafting is required for effective treatment.

Types of Bone Grafting

The type of bone grafting techniques include:

Autografts: Bone taken from the patient's own body.

Allografts: Bone taken from another donor, often from a bone bank.

Xenografts: Bone taken from another species, often bovine.
