These techniques are used when a patient has experienced such significant bone loss that it prevents the placement of a dental implant. This set of procedures helps regenerate the alveolar bone both horizontally and vertically, enabling future treatment with dental implants.
The bone that supports our teeth is a dynamic tissue that undergoes constant remodeling—forming and resorbing over time. However, when a tooth is lost, this process stops, and bone resorption begins. In many cases, this leads to a lack of sufficient bone for implant placement. Fortunately, there are several techniques available to perform alveolar bone grafting.
In this type of surgery, minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissues is crucial, as these tissues provide the blood supply necessary for the formation of new bone. There are various types of bone grafts available, such as autografts (from the patient's own body) and sinus grafts, with the choice depending on the graft’s origin, the quantity required, and the location where new bone is needed.
There are multiple techniques to harvest bone from the patient’s own body, which is always considered the best option for promoting new bone growth. Our goal is to ensure optimal outcomes and a high success rate in graft integration—offering our patients an effective, long-lasting solution for dental implant readiness.
