What is Bone Grafting?
Dental bone grafting is a procedure in dentistry aimed at adding volume and density to the jawbone in areas where teeth are missing. This is a necessary step when the jawbone no longer has enough volume or quality to support the placement of an Implant post.
The dentist will perform a gentle surgery to lift the gum tissue, then place the grafting material into the deficient area. Over time, this bone will integrate with the natural bone, creating a strong foundation for the future Implant post.
When is Bone Grafting Necessary Before Implant Placement?
Not all implant cases require bone grafting. Bone grafting is typically indicated in the following situations:
- Recently lost a tooth or had a tooth extraction: Early bone grafting helps prevent bone resorption and prepares a good bone foundation for implant placement.
- Lost tooth for a long time: The bone in the missing tooth area usually deteriorates over time, leading to a deficiency in height, width, or bone density.
- Poor bone quality: Although there is enough bone volume, if the bone is porous, soft, or unstable, bone grafting may be needed to improve the ability of the implant post to integrate.
Consequences of Not Performing Bone Grafting When Necessary
Continued bone resorption: Not performing bone grafting will cause the remaining bone to resorb faster.
Failure when placing an Implant: The implant does not integrate with the bone, causing loosening and rejection.
Aesthetic impact: The dentures sink, gum recession, and loss of facial harmony.
Aesthetic impact: The dentures sink, gum recession, and loss of facial harmony.
Prolonged pain or inflammation around the Implant.
Common Types of Bone Grafting Materials
In modern dentistry, there are four main types of bone grafting materials, but the most common are:
Autogenous Bone (Autograft):
Taken from the patient’s own body (usually from the jaw angle or chin area).
Advantages: High biocompatibility, low risk of rejection.
Disadvantages: Requires two surgical sites, increased pain after surgery.
Synthetic Bone Graft:
Made from artificial biomaterials that are compatible with the body.
Advantages: Safe, easy to use, no need to harvest bone from another site.
Commonly used in dentistry due to its high effectiveness and minimal invasiveness.
Examination & Diagnosis:
- X-ray or CBCT 3D imaging is performed to assess the density and volume of the jawbone.
Treatment Planning:
- The doctor analyzes the graft site and selects the appropriate material for the procedure.
Bone Grafting Surgery:
- Local anesthesia is applied to the graft area.
- The gum tissue is opened, bone graft material is placed, and PRF membranes may be used to support healing.
Post-Grafting Care:
- Follow prescribed medication instructions and avoid chewing on the grafted area for 1-2 weeks.
Follow-up and Evaluation of Results:
- After 3-6 months, once the bone has properly integrated, the Implant fixture is placed.
