Weak and minimal bone tissue is a fairly serious problem, since it significantly reduces the possibility of placing implants later. The outcome is resorption — complete destruction of the bone tissue. As practice has shown, the problems begin with the very first tooth losses, which distorts the dental row and can later change the facial expression, with the corners of the mouth drooping and the lower jaw appearing to recede. Tissue and bone regeneration is a procedure that lets your dental row regain its former beauty, and the patient health improves.
The functional purpose and nuances of the materials used
The most common method for increasing the volume of bone tissue is bone grafting. This technique is quite effective not only during periodontal procedures but also has its place in supporting implant placement. The surgical procedure involves the use of bone-grafting material and a membrane. The first component is a kind of framework that serves as a base, while the purpose of the second is to provide all the conditions the surgeons need to fully accomplish their tasks.
Technique and result
Our dentists state that the regeneration procedure (bone and tissue) can be carried out on several teeth at once. The technique is as follows: the doctor gains access to the affected tooth root and removes everything unnecessary, using special equipment or ultrasound. The next stage of the “repair” work involves filling the open socket with special bone tissue. The membrane here acts as a fixative that later dissolves. It is very important that implants be placed immediately after the restoration procedure. In other words, integration and restoration are carried out simultaneously.
