Bone Graft
Lincoln Park, NJ

It is most frequently used in cases where bone loss has occurred due to tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma.

Bone grafting plays a critical role in providing a stable foundation for dental implants. For our Lincoln Park, NJ patients who do not have the bone density required to support dental implants, bone grafting may give you the opportunity.

Bone Loss


The jawbone is the primary support structure for teeth and provides stability for chewing and speaking. However, when teeth are lost or extracted, the surrounding bone deteriorates without the stimulation from tooth roots.

This deterioration is known as bone resorption. In addition, periodontal gum disease may lead to bone loss around affected teeth, which compromises the jawbone as well.

Types of Bone Grafts Used in Dentistry


Dental bone grafting procedures address the issues of resorption and damage by regenerating the bone tissue in the jaw. There are several types of bone grafts commonly used in dentistry.

Autogenous Bone Grafts


These grafts involve harvesting bone tissue from another site within the patient's body, typically the chin, jaw, or hip. Autogenous bone grafts offer the advantages of live bone cells from the patient that won't be rejected. However, they also require a second surgical site, which may result in additional recovery time.

Allografts


Allografts use bone tissue obtained from a donor, typically cadavers. The donor bone undergoes extensive processing to minimize the risk of immune rejection. Allografts eliminate the need for a second surgical site on the patient's body, but carry the risk of rejection.

Xenografts


Xenografts use bone tissue from a different species, such as bovine or porcine (cows or pigs). Like allografts, xenografts are processed to minimize the risk of rejection. They are used as an alternative when autogenous or allogeneic bone grafts are not feasible or not preferred.

Synthetic Bone Grafts


Synthetic bone graft materials are made from biocompatible ceramics, calcium phosphates, or biodegradable polymers. These materials mimic the structure and function of natural bone and are gradually replaced by the patient's own bone tissue over time. Synthetic grafts eliminate the need for donor tissue, but may not be as effective in promoting new bone growth.

Dental bone grafting procedures are commonly performed in conjunction with dental implant placement. After the bone graft material is placed in the jawbone, it is allowed to integrate and heal for several months before dental implants are placed. This healing period is essential for the bone to regenerate, and provide a stable foundation for the implants.

Potential Complications From Bone Grafts


Complications with bone grafting procedures are rare, but can include infection, inflammation, or the graft may fail to integrate. Proper preoperative evaluation, and post operative care are essential to minimize the risk of complications, and ensure a successful outcome.
