Alveolar Bone Augmentation (Expansion)
One of the most common long-term problems encountered after tooth extractions is the resorption of the jawbone.
If tooth loss is to be treated with dental implants, bone height and volume become even more critical.
Implant placement requires a certain amount of bone height and thickness.
Bone loss caused by early tooth loss or severe periodontal inflammation can be corrected through bone augmentation procedures.
These augmentations can be performed using bone harvested from the patient’s own body or by using inorganic materials for the same purpose.
