Better bone grafting techniques

In dental implantology, bone grafting is necessary when there is a lack of bone. For an implant to osseointegrate, it needs to be surrounded by a healthy quantity of bone. To achieve an adequate width and height of bone, various bone grafting techniques have been developed.

During the healing phase, natural bone replaces the graft, forming a new bony base for the implant and adding volume to the bone. The process is called guided bone regeneration (GBR). Bone replacement performed by clinicians today is more refined than in the past and can be more easily assimilated into the existing bone structure.
