Bone augmentation, also known as bone grafting, is a procedure that restores or increases the volume of bone in the jaw to create a stable foundation for implant placement.
This procedure is necessary for patients who have lost bone due to periodontitis, trauma, long-term denture wear, or tooth extraction.
When is bone augmentation needed?
- Bone loss after tooth extraction
- Periodontal disease with bone resorption
- Long-term denture wear without bone stimulation
- Preparation for implantation in areas with thin or low bone density
Augmentation Methods:
- Autogenous bone: using the patient's own bone (most commonly from the chin or posterior jaw)
- Artificial biomaterials: synthetic or bioresorbable granules that promote regeneration
- Membranes and growth factors: for protection and acceleration of the healing process
Advantages of bone augmentation:
- Enables successful implant placement
- Prevents soft tissue collapse
- Ensures aesthetic shape of the jaw and face
- Increases the longevity of implant therapy
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or with analgosedation for maximum comfort. After a healing period of 4–6 months, the jaw is ready for implantation.
