What is a bone graft?
When placing dental implants, you should ideally have as much bone, both quantity and quality, in the site as possible. Sometimes, there is insufficient bone present as a result of a prior extraction or other injury, and additional bone needs to be made. This is what a bone graft is meant to do. It usually consists of bone producing minerals that enhance new bone growth, or specially treated bone particles from mostly cow bone or sometimes from donated human bone. The gum tissue is reflected and the graft placed along with a barrier covering. Then sutures are used that hold everything together for proper healing. After a healing period of 3 to 6 months the new bone has grown in and the implant can be placed. If you are about to need a tooth extraction, then this is a great time to have a bone graft placed in the empty space left after your tooth is removed. This should occur at the same time as the extraction or shortly thereafter. Pier J. Cipriani, DDS, MS READ MORE
