Dental bone grafts
Everybody, no matter what age groups they belong to want their natural teeth to last a life time.Natural teeth have their own benefit compared to artificial teeth.After all who wants anything artificial in their own body!!
Natural feel and most important psychologically the patients feel better with natural and functional body parts.Bone grafts are designed and function in such a way that they help the natural teeth to stabilise themselves.It also adds to the longevity of their lives and above all retains them with proper function.
Bone grafts are also used in cases where dental implants need to be placed to achieve proper bone width and height to retain the dental implant.
How Does It Work?
Bone grafting is a minor surgical procedure, which works to build up new bone in the jaw area used previously to hold teeth. It is performed in the dental office. To expose the bone beneath, a small incision is made in the gum, and grafting material is then added. The grafting material is most often processed bone that serves as a scaffold around which new bone cells are deposited by your body. The grafting material is eventually absorbed by your body and replaced by your own new bone.
The grafting material can come from a range of sources. It can even come from your own body. Mostly, however, it is an animal bone or bone from a human donor. The graft is processed in a laboratory and made safe and sterile to use. Synthetic grafting material is also available. It comes in powder, granules, gel, or putty form, which can be injected through a syringe.
Types of Bone Grafts
Significant research backs up the variety of sources that make up bone grafting material used for preserving or augmenting bone for dental implants. Except autografts, other materials are processed to ensure safe use and eliminate potential of disease transmission.
Autograft: Autograft entails taking bone from one site in the body and moving it to another site. This type of bone graft is the only one, which involves creating two surgical sites: one from where the bone is harvested, and the other where it is deposited.
Allograft: Allograft refers to a laboratory procedure, which processes bones from a deceased human donor.
Xenograft: This grafting material comes from an animal, in most cases a cow.
Alloplast: Alloplast bone grafting material uses synthetic materials.
What Should You Expect?
Bone grafting procedure usually involves only local anesthesia.
The body takes up to 7 months for bone maturation to take place for you to receive your dental implant; however, you will soon feel completely normal after the procedure. The waiting time ensures that the healing process has enough time to achieve the desired results: ideal support for the replacement teeth, which will last a lifetime and look great, as natural as your original teeth!
