1. Introduction to Implant bone grafting

Bone grafting is an advanced dental technique that combines bone grafting and implant placement to restore lost teeth. This technique is applied when a patient needs dental implants but the jawbone is not of sufficient quality or quantity to place the implant.

During this process, the doctor will graft additional bone into the missing jaw bone area, creating a solid foundation for the subsequent implant placement. Implant bone grafting helps increase the success rate of the implant, while improving the patient's aesthetics and chewing function.

2. Why is bone grafting necessary when placing implants?

There are many reasons why dentists recommend bone grafting before implant placement:

– Jaw bone loss after long-term tooth loss
– Thin or weak jawbone due to genetics or disease
– Sinus lift is needed to place the implant in the upper posterior teeth area.
– Want to improve aesthetics by jawbone shaping

Bone grafting helps create a solid foundation for the implant, increasing bone healing ability and long-term stability of the implant tooth.

3. Popular bone grafting implant methods

There are many methods of bone grafting implants, depending on the patient's jaw bone condition:

– Autologous bone graft: Bone is taken from the patient's own body, usually from the chin or hip bone.
– Allogeneic bone grafting: Using processed donor bone.
– Allogeneic bone grafting: Using processed bones from animals (usually cows).
– Artificial bone graft: Using biocompatible synthetic materials.

In addition, there is also the technique of hydraulic maxillary sinus lift combined with bone grafting, suitable for the maxillary posterior teeth area with low bone height.

4. Bone grafting and implant procedure

The bone grafting and implant procedure usually includes the following steps:

1. Examination and X-ray: The doctor evaluates the condition of the jawbone and plans treatment.
2. Bone grafting: The doctor performs bone grafting surgery in the required area.
3. Bone healing time: About 3-6 months for the bone graft to fuse with the jaw bone.
4. Implant placement: After the bone has stabilized, the doctor will proceed with the implant placement.
5. Bone integration waiting time: About 3-6 months for the Implant to fuse tightly with the bone.
6. Attaching porcelain crowns: Completing the tooth restoration process.

5. Advantages of Implant bone grafting

Bone grafting implants offer many benefits:

– Increase the success rate of Implant surgery
– Restore facial aesthetics changed due to long-term tooth loss
– Improve chewing function
– Prevent further bone loss after tooth loss
– Creates a solid foundation for dental implants, helping them last longer
