Learn More About Oral Bone Grafting

Bone grafting technique is done by surgical intervention to replace with a new bone in the gap of damaged or absent bone. The bone replacement can be done with one’s own bone, artificial or from a donor. However, the obtained bone should favor the patient’s body condition. The new bone implantation makes the patient do regular activities with no discomforts; it also makes a space automatically for designing bone tissues new growth in the missing/affected bone areas.

What are the types of oral bone grafting?

• Autologous bone grafts

• Allogenic bone grafts

In this grafting, the bones are collected from an expired donor and it is preserved in a bone bank to restore with lost bone. There are three types of allogenic bone grafts available
1. De-mineralized freeze-dried bone allograft
2. Freeze-dried bone allograft
3. Fresh/fresh-frozen bone

• Xenograft

In Xenograft, the bone is obtained from the cadaver of another organism, generally a bovine bone

• Synthetic and alloplastic grafts

Artificial bone grafts are prepared with various synthetic materials such as calcium sulfate, phosphate, and bioglass. However, the effectiveness of synthetic bone graft may start to reduce gradually and finally, the synthetic bone is exposed to stress. Synthetic bone graft or alloplastic graft is produced from a natural mineral component known as Hydroxyapatite, a good source for artificial grafts.
