During
a
dental
implant,
when
the
bone
of
a
patient
is
not
strong
enough
to
handle
the
implant,
a
surgical
procedure
that
is
called
bone
graft
is
a
must.
A
bone
graft
can
create
a
more
solid
base
for
the
implants
to
settle
in.
With
bone
grafting,
a
piece
of
bone
from
the
patient’s
own
body
(mouth)
is
taken
OR
an
artificial,
synthetic,
natural
substitute
is
used
to
strengthen
the
place
where
the
dental
implants
will
be.
The
picture
below
shows
a
brief
explanation
of
the
steps
that
a
bone
graft
patient
goes
through.
After the sixth step, the patient waits for three months minimum (depending on the case) for the healing of the gum where the bone graft surgery took place.
Once the gum has healed completely, the implant is fixated in its proper place.After the fixation of the implant and before placing the abutment, the patient should wait minimum one month to see if the body has accepted or rejected the implant.
If it is accepted, the procedure continues as planned and the abutment is set on the implant followed by the crown, as seen in the picture above in the last two steps. And if the implant is rejected, the 8th step is repeated and again there will be waiting to see if the implant is accepted or rejected.
At Ferrari Dental Clinic we target on auograft, xenograft and especially Easy Graft cristal synthetic bone substitute from “Degradable Solution” Switzerland.
