Bone grafting is by far the most common supplementary procedure in implant dentistry and periodontics, performed in almost close to 90% of cases. If a patient doesn’t have enough bone to ensure that his/her implants will be successful, the surgeon in the vast majority of cases can create new bone. This is possible because of the human body’s remarkable ability to produce bone. Bone grafting triggers this act of magic.

Bone Grafts are natural process or synthetic substitutes used to restore lost bone due to periodontal diseases. In advance implant procedures where available bone is compromised they are used to construct / gain bone suitable for implant placement. Dental specialists typically use four types of bone graft materials like:

• AUTOGENOUS
• HOMOGENOUS [ALLOGRAFTS]
• HETEROGENOUS [XENO GRAFTS]
• ALLOPLASTS

Bone grafts have different properties like Osteogenesis, Osteoinduction, Osteoconduction etc. We use the best graft available worldwide…

All four categories of bone grafting materials are commonly used, but it is up to the knowledge of the specialist when to use what..? Patients can also give their preferences to the surgeon.
