adminDental Care Dental Implants, Grafting
Patients who need a bone graft to increase the size and quality of the jawbone at the implant site will need to discuss with their doctor which method of bone grafting is best for them. UK dental implant dentists should have plenty of experience in these kinds of grafts, or should be willing to refer the patients who will need them to a more knowledgeable oral surgeon.
Autografts in dental implants are bone grafts that utilize bone taken from another part of the patient’s body. These are generally the most successful, as there is very little risk for rejection or unusual complications. Bone is often taken from other parts of the jaw or larger bones such as the shin. Allografts are also common. These grafts use a bone sample from another human donor that has a compatible blood type and bone marrow. As the grafted bone grows and joins with the jawbone, the patient’s body converts it.
Xenografts are still fairly rare, but provide a good alternative for patients who can’t use their own bone or find a compatible donor. Animal bone samples, usually from a cow, are sterilized and treated to be completely compatible with the patient. The body replaces the bone sample with it’s own bone over time.
