What is Bone Augmentation?
Bone augmentation is an essential surgical procedure in dental implantology, with the role of ensuring adequate bone support for the correct insertion, positioning and healing of dental implants. This procedure allows for the correction of defects in volume, shape and consistency of the crestal bone.
Why is Bone Augmentation Necessary?
When there is insufficient bone, the dental implant cannot be inserted properly. This deficiency can be caused by:
-
Tooth loss and bone resorption over time.
-
Severe dental infections that have led to damage to the jawbone.
-
Trauma or difficult dental extractions that affected bone volume.
-
Systemic conditions that influence bone density
The bone augmentation process includes several techniques adapted to each individual case:
The bone augmentation process includes several techniques adapted to each individual case:
- Autologous bone grafts – using the patient's own bone for reconstruction.
- Bone substitution with biomaterials – biocompatible materials that stimulate bone regeneration.
- Sinus lift technique – to improve bone volume in the upper molar area.
- Bone ridge expansion – used when the bone is too narrow for the implant.
