Everything About Bone Graft
Find all the detailed information you need about the treatment in this section.
What is Bone Graft?
Bone grafting is a regenerative procedure applied in patients who do not have adequate bone volume for implant treatment. Graft materials obtained from various sources are placed in the area of bone loss to stimulate new bone formation (osteogenesis).
After tooth loss, the jawbone naturally resorbs. Bone grafting compensates for this loss and provides the necessary volume and density for implants. Modern graft materials are biocompatible and accepted by the body, fusing with natural bone over time.
Treatment Stages
Bone Analysis
Existing bone volume, density, and extent of loss are evaluated with 3D tomography.
Graft Selection
The most suitable graft material (autogenous, allogenic, xenogenic, or synthetic) is determined according to the patient's condition.
Surgical Application
Graft material is placed in the bone defect under local anesthesia and covered with membrane.
Healing Period
During the 3-6 month healing period, graft material fuses with bone (osseointegration).
Implant Placement
After adequate bone is formed, implant surgery is performed.
Bone Graft Types
Autogenous Graft
Graft taken from patient's own bone. Gold standard, highest success rate. Can be taken from jaw, hip, or tibia.
Allogenic Graft
Processed bone obtained from human donors. No second surgery required, offers wide volume options.
Xenogenic Graft
Animal-derived (usually bovine) processed bone. Products like Bio-Oss are widely used.
Alloplastic Graft
Synthetically produced bone-like material. Contains components like hydroxyapatite, beta-tricalcium phosphate.
How Is It Done?
Bone grafting procedure is performed under local anesthesia in sterile conditions and usually takes 30-60 minutes.
Advantages
Disadvantages
Note: Most of these disadvantages can be minimized with proper planning and treatment by an experienced dentist.
