In cases with advanced bone deficiency, especially in the anterior region of the upper jaw or the posterior region of the lower jaw, placing implants in the appropriate position often presents a problem. With this method, the insufficient bone volume for implant application is made sufficient, allowing the patient to receive implants of appropriate size and diameter.
Augmentation
Bone augmentation, or bone grafting, is applied to patients with bone deficiency. For patients experiencing issues in the anterior region of the upper jaw or the posterior region of the lower jaw, bone is placed in the appropriate position, thus eliminating the problem. Through this method, implant application can also be performed on the patient. In this way, insufficient bone volume is made sufficient.
Many different methods are applied in bone grafting surgery. The most frequently used of these methods is the treatment of the region with autogenous onlay grafts. Here, the person's own bone is used.
In some cases, bone loss disorders are also experienced. When this is the case, bone grafting becomes essential. In such disorders, autogenous bone grafts obtained from the posterior region of the lower jaw are placed in the regions where bone is insufficient.
What is the Purpose of Bone Grafting?
The purpose of bone grafting is to prepare for implant surgery. In this way, insufficient bone volume becomes sufficient.
What is Implant Bone Transplant? How is it Performed?
Implant bone transplant is also known as bone grafting. It is an advanced implant application technique. Thanks to this technique, bone can be taken from a suitable area and transplanted to patients who do not have bones of sufficient thickness and height. During transplantation, the bone is fixed with screws.
What Does Alveolar Bone Mean?
The bones surrounding the teeth are called alveolar bones.
What is Alveolar Bone Defect?
Alveolar bone defect is a health problem caused by accidents, traumas, and diseases. It is an irreversible condition. In such disorders, implant surgery and bone grafting procedures must be performed. In this way, a healthy and suitable ground is prepared for the surgical method.
What is Dental Bone Transplant Treatment? How is it Performed?
In the first stage, the patient's tooth structure is examined with panoramic x-rays. Then, if the patient does not have sufficient bone width, a decision is made for bone grafting. During the treatment, dental volumetric tomography is taken. Then, anesthesia is applied and surgery is performed.
What Happens After Bone Transplant?
After bone transplant is performed, tampons are kept in the mouth for 20 minutes. Ice treatment is recommended every 10 minutes for 48 hours. The mouth should not be opened too much during the healing process. Hot and cold foods should be avoided after the surgery.
After the surgery is successfully performed, tampons are kept in the mouth for 20 minutes. It is recommended to apply ice treatment every 10 minutes for 48 hours. The mouth should not be opened too much in order not to force or damage the stitches. It is recommended to avoid hot and cold drinks in order not to negatively affect the nerves after the surgery.
