Types of bone grafting
Depending on the anatomy of the jaw, surgeons choose the appropriate type of operation.
If the defect is located in the area of the chewing teeth of the upper jaw, a sinus lift is used. This technique involves carefully displacing the floor of the maxillary sinus and filling the resulting space with bone material.
For the lower jaw, the following methods are used:
- Guided bone regeneration Provides safe restoration of bone tissue. During the operation, the doctor uses growth stimulants, which results in an increase in bone mass without the risk of complications
- Splitting of the alveolar process Used to increase the width of bones. Suitable for particularly dense bone structures, but has an increased risk of injury
- Bone augmentation for implants after cyst removal A pathological neoplasm on the upper part of the tooth root thins and destroys the bone. After its removal, the doctor strengthens the jaw, filling the voids with osteomaterial, which subsequently forms the bone
- Curie technique Used extremely rarely. Its essence lies in the use of the patient's own graft. The operation is performed for serious injuries, a special structure of the jaw and significant atrophy of bone tissue. The healing period of the bone block can reach up to six months
- Osteoplasty in the frontal zone Suitable for both upper and lower jaws. There are no special differences in execution
General information about the procedure
Pros and cons of bone grafting
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the main advantages and disadvantages of bone grafting in dentistry:
| Characteristic | Pros of plastic surgery | Cons of plastic surgery |
|---|---|---|
| Recovery | Restoration of bone tissue that supports teeth | Risk of implanted material rejection |
| Prevention | Preventing tooth loss due to periodontitis | Possible infections at the surgical site |
| Implantation | Creation of sufficient bone volume for implantation | The need for a long recovery period |
| Aesthetics and functionality | Improving the aesthetics and functionality of the dentition | High cost of the procedure |
| Service life | Increasing the service life of dental implants | Pain after surgery |
Many patients are interested in complications after bone grafting in dentistry. Plastic surgery usually does not cause negative consequences. In rare cases, during the recovery period, irritation in the operated area, slow wound healing, and rejection of bone material by the body are noted.
At the K+31 clinic in Moscow, the operation is performed by experienced professionals. You can find out the prices for bone grafting in dentistry on the website or by phone.
Selection of materials for bone grafting
In surgery, a variety of materials are used to restore bone tissue. The most common include:
- Autogenous materials are grafts taken directly from the patient. Provide excellent biocompatibility. They are usually removed from the chin area or near the wisdom teeth. Although such materials reduce the risk of rejection, obtaining them requires additional surgery
- Allogeneic materials are donor bones, which, after special treatment, are gradually assimilated by the body, which promotes recovery
- Xenogeneic grafts are made from the bones of animals, most often cattle. They undergo special treatment, do not cause allergies and are effectively used in plastic
Sometimes synthetic materials are used, such as hydroxyapatite or calcium phosphate. They come in powder form and help minimize the risk of infection while providing adequate bone volume.
Osteoplasty during implantation
When there is not enough bone tissue to install implants, osteoplasty is used. Insufficient bone volume can be caused by trauma, tooth loss, periodontal inflammation. To create the required bone volume, the surgeon implants bone chips or synthetic substitutes, which creates a solid foundation for installing implants.
After a healing period of up to 10 days, the bone tissue fuses with the material. A healthy jaw ensures successful and long-lasting fixation of implants, excellent functionality and aesthetics of the dentition.
