I wanted to get a dental implant, but was told that there was not enough bone in the alveolar bone
The doctor told me that "bone grafting" was needed
What exactly is this?
Why do dental implants require bone grafting first?
What exactly is “bone meal”
Let’s take a look at the following important knowledge points
What is bone meal?
At present, the common bone meal is calf bone meal and coral bone meal, which are medical materials made after strict processing. After filling, they can effectively adhere to the original bone and stimulate the regeneration of the original bone. The composition of bone meal is very similar to that of human bones. Artificial bone meal does not need to damage your own bones and will not cause negative effects on oral soft tissues and the body. Moreover, the amount of implantation is generally very small, calculated in milligrams. Before implantation, the density, height, etc. of the alveolar bone will be strictly measured to be precise and precise.
Why fill bone meal?
Everyone knows that trees need soil so that their saplings can thrive. Dental implants also require sufficient healthy bone tissue to be successfully completed.
Generally speaking, within months to years after a tooth is lost or extracted, the alveolar bone will gradually absorb and shrink, resulting in the amount of dental bone being less able to support a dental implant. fixed.
Bone powder is suitable for the expansion or reconstruction of alveolar bone. It can be used to fill the alveolar bone defect in the mandible, fill the dental socket to protect the alveolar bone, and fill the missing bone tissue around the implant. Filling, and maxillary sinus lift.
Under normal circumstances, the height of our alveolar bone needs to be at least about 1 to 1.2 centimeters and the width to be about 0.6 to 0.7 centimeters or more in order to firmly lock the artificial tooth root in.
If the patient's bone quality is not good, he must first undergo a "bone grafting" surgery, and then perform a dental implant surgery after the bone condition is qualified.
Who needs bone grafting?
1. Patients suffering from tooth root inflammation
Generally speaking, periodontal disease is the culprit of tooth loss, and most dental implant patients will suffer from varying degrees of tooth loss. Periodontal disease, left untreated for a long time, causes alveolar bone to shrink.
2. The tooth has been missing for too long
After the tooth is lost, if we do not repair it in time, the adjacent teeth will gradually tilt to occupy the position of the missing tooth, and the missing tooth will There may also be insufficient dental bone in the area.
Here, I would like to say something from my heart, that is, after a tooth is lost, it must be repaired in time to prevent the alveolar bone from shrinking in the later period. Anyway, it will increase the difficulty of repair and cost more. Suffer.
At this point, everyone knows why dental implants require bone grafting powder. Bone grafting also plays a big role in the long-term effects of implants.
From tooth decay, periodontal disease to tooth loss, these are not the end of pain, but just the beginning. If the teeth are not repaired in time, the harm will continue and the repair will be more difficult, time and cost. The cost will increase, so you can no longer delay treatment. The longer you delay, the more trouble you will have. All friends with missing teeth should act quickly. From now until January 6, 2021, dental implants are worth NT$3,000 each, Nobel/Bicon/Bego implants. For two or more, a Midea dishwasher will be given as a gift. Please check the poster for details.
Dr. Wang Qiang has more than 27 years of experience and has accumulated more than 7,900 dental implants. Dr. Wang’s dental implants have gained many fans, and few patients have reported pain or severe reactions to dental implants.
From the letters of thanks from early dental implant patients to the current online reviews, it can be seen that dental implants can actually be very easy.
Letters of thanks from early dental implant patients
Today’s online reviews are very objective about the dental implant process and feelings.
