Bone Grafts
Bone grafting procedures are usually
necessary if there is not enough bone available
to place dental implants or if any vital anatomy
is in the way.
Today, bone grafting procedures have become almost
an integral part of implant reconstruction. In
many instances, a potential implant site in the
upper or lower jaw does not offer enough bone
volume or quantity to accommodate a Rootform Implant
of proper size or in the proper place. This is
usually a result of bone resorption that has taken
place since one or more teeth (if not all) were
lost. Bone Grafting procedures usually try to
re-establish bone dimension, which was lost due
to resorption.
Many years ago the lack of bone posed a considerable
problem and sometimes implant placement was impossible
because of that. Today, however, we have the ability
to grow bone where needed. This not only gives
us the opportunity to place implants of proper
length and width (and for Rootform Implants we
always try to go for as long and wide as possible),
it also gives us a chance to restore the esthetic
appearance and functionality better. |

Type of Bone Grafting Materials
With respect to the Bone Graft material used, we have
to differentiate between several choices. All materials
can be categorized into five different categories:
- Autograft or autogenous bone graft
- Allograft or allogenic bone graft
- Xenograft or xenogenic bone graft
- Alloplast or alloplastic bone graft
- Growth Factors
Each of the bone graft materials is usually developed
with a specific purpose or advantage in mind. Your surgeon
will make a decision with respect to the bonegraft material,
based on your individual needs and the latest research
in that field.
