Bone grafting is a surgical method that uses the transplanted bone to repair and rebuild diseased or damaged bones. A bone graft is an alternative for mending bones almost anywhere in your body. In order to perform the graft, your surgeon might take bone from your hips, legs, or ribs.
A dental bone graft is a dental surgery performed to help enhance the amount of bone in the part of the jaw where the bone has been lost or where additional support is required. A bone may be taken from elsewhere in the body and surgically fused to the existing bone in the jaw. Sometimes, synthetic bone material is also used. A dental bone graft becomes necessary if further procedures, such as dental implants, are essential or if bone loss affects the health of nearby gums and teeth.
There are several ways a dental bone grafting can be performed, but the basic procedure involved remains the same. An oral surgeon performs an incision in the jaw and grafts the alternative bone material to the jaw. A dental bone graft is usually carried out when a person has lost more than one teeth or has gum disease. Bone loss in the jaw can arise due to either of these conditions. The most widely chosen method for dental bone grafting is to make use of your own bone from the hip, tibia, or back of the jaw, and this approach is known as an autograft. It is a standard procedure and helps increase bone support in the jaw and stimulates faster healing and new bone formation.
