A Review on Bone Grafts in Implant Dentistry
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Bone resorption is a natural phenomenon and can occur due to old age, loss of teeth, prolonged denture wear or as a result of systemic conditions. For the replacement of teeth by implant supported prosthesis, a minimum of bone density is required. Bone grafting is a method by which bone deficient areas are built up, with the use of different materials, such as autografts, allografts, alloplasts and xenografts. This article discusses the use of human bone material, synthetic material and blood components as successful grafting materials in implant dentistry. Their use has shown an effective amount of bone formation and proliferation in the defective sites and proves to be a beneficial choice in bringing back lost bone.
