Springfield, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/12/2017 -- Orthogen continues to supply the best bone graft material that a dental professional could require. Bone grafting is a surgical procedure in which inadequate bone volume is replaced with biomaterials from different sources. These materials are placed in contact with the bone to augment its dimensions positively. This grants the opportunity for a future implant osteointegration.
Bone grafting is necessary after a tooth extraction, to maintain the dimensions of the alveolar socket. It is also necessary for sinus augmentation procedures. These are executed when additional bone is required vertically in the posterior region of the upper jaw. An implant without enough bone would cause the top portion of the implant to contact the interior of the sinus, which would then cause irritation and inflammation. The area without enough bone is replaced with graft material.
Dental professionals also use grafting for lateral ridge augmentation procedures. When insufficient bone surrounds the implant site, the use of graft material is required in all horizontal directions, so two millimeters of potential bone is obtained before the implant placement.
When a tooth is extracted, a clot forms inside the tooth socket, which leaves behind bone after some time passes. Then the clot shrinks and the leftover bone will decrease in height and width.
