Bone Graft: What is Bone Powder Application?
Smiles Built on Solid Foundations at DehaDent
One of the most important factors in advanced dentistry procedures such as implant treatment is the sufficient density and volume of the jawbone. Bone grafting (bone graft application), applied when bone is insufficient, creates a reliable foundation for healthy and long-lasting dental treatments. At DehaDent Oral and Dental Health Clinic, we provide services with our expert team of physicians in this field.
What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is the process of placing bone graft in areas where the jawbone lacks sufficient volume. This graft integrates with the bone tissue over time, creating a natural structure and providing a solid foundation, especially for procedures such as implants.
Bone grafting aims to strengthen the jaw structure both aesthetically and functionally. The treatment is a surgical procedure and can be performed painlessly under local anesthesia.
When Is Bone Graft Application Required?
- If bone loss has occurred due to a long-term absence of teeth.
- If a previous unsuccessful implant treatment has been performed.
- If the jawbone is insufficient for implant placement.
- If bone loss has occurred due to trauma, cysts, or tumors.
- If support is required before a sinus lift or further surgical procedures.
In such cases, bone grafting is a factor that directly affects the success of the treatment.
How is Bone Grafting Performed?
1. Clinical Examination and Imaging
In the first step, the jawbone is examined with a 3D dental tomography scan. The bone volume, density, and the area where the graft will be placed are clearly determined.
2. Surgical Intervention
Bone graft is surgically placed in the designated area under local anesthesia. This procedure can be performed in the same session as the sinus lift or implant surgery, if necessary.
3. Healing Process
After the bone graft is applied, a healing period of 3 to 6 months is required for the graft to integrate with the natural bone structure. After this period, the bone volume reaches a sufficient level.
