Bone grafting is often required for the following conditions: Implant-supported tooth replacement: Dental bone grafting is necessary for most patients who have missing teeth replaced with implants. A dental implant is a screw-shaped artificial root surgically placed into the jawbone. An artificial tooth is then placed over the dental implant to look like the other teeth. A bone graft is generally required to build a stable foundation for an implant. You have a missing tooth or gum disease: Even if you don’t need dental implant surgery, a dental bone transplant might be required to preserve a part of the bone lost due to tooth loss or gum disease (periodontal). Also, adjacent teeth and gum tissue can deteriorate as a result of bone loss. Bone transplants may be used to prevent additional bone loss and the long-term health concerns that accompany it by stabilising the jaw. Taking the proper steps to treat gum disease is essential to avoid tooth loss and even heart disease. Bone loss: Bone transplants support bone development in individuals who are suffering from bone loss. Jawbone deterioration might result in a change in facial structure. When the bone mass is lost, the lower jawbone may be pushed forward. If your lips and muscles are not well-structured, they may alter the way you look. It may cause wrinkles around your jawline. Jaws are more susceptible to bone loss in older individuals. Nevertheless, anybody of any age who has had a jaw injury or has had difficulties with poor oral hygiene or other dental health issues, such as severe infections, may need a dental bone transplant.
