4 keys on the dental bone graft
Written by:The dental bone graft is usually done for the placement of dental implants in the absence of teeth and in those situations where there is insufficient bone volume.
Bone grafts may come from different backgrounds, but basically divided into two: the patient's own or a different. According to the need or surgeon preference will be held either.
What is the implantation of dental bone graft?
The bone graft implantation is performed on the patient's own bone once raised the gum. In the case where the bone graft is in block form to be fixed with screws which are then removed.
It is recommended in cases where there is not enough bone for implants application correctly.
What part of the body the bone graft is removed?
When grafts from the patient are required, traditionally they drew hip, tibia or skull, but currently in most cases tend to extract them from the own patient's mouth. This avoids operate another area and lessen the discomfort that entails.
What are the risks?
Generally usually normal inflammation, discomfort or minor bleeding. In rare cases there is loss of sensation, but in expert hands in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery risk is almost zero.
What kind of life you should take the patient after application?
The first few days will continue the medication that the doctor paute as antibiotics and anti-inflammatories. It is recommended to try not to have pressure on operated areas as the use of prosthetics, otherwise a normal life. Inflammation will be lowered after about five days, approximately.
