Bone Grafts Cases

Bone graft is a procedure that replaces and regenerates lost bone. There are different types of grafts materials being the human bone graft the most used. It is  processed in tissue banks to prevent the transmission of any disease or infection to the recipient.

There are different indications of the use of bone grafting as described:

Ridge preservation

A ridge preservation or socket preservation is a technique used to prevent the bone loss that occurs after an extraction.

Case 1

Ridge preservation on the upper left canine

tooth had to be pulled due to a non treatable decay. Veneers were made

Bone graft at time of implant placement

When an implant is placed the same day that the tooth is extracted, the gap between the socket wall of the tooth and the implant should be filled with a bone graft. This improves the esthetics and prevents the shrinkade of the bone after extractions.
