The success of a dental implant, it's ability to support a dental restoration, is very much dependent upon how much bone is available in the site where the implant is placed. There are many ways in which bone grafting can be done. Sometimes it is as simple as collecting bone when preparing an implant site and then reusing the bone for grafting purposes. This is called Autogenous bone grafting and is the Gold Standard for graft materials. The reason for its use is due to the absence of immunologic reactions, cell viability and the decreased time required for revascularization, resorption and replacement. Often bone collected from other sources can be used such as from other people, animals or increasingly popularly from artificial sources.

Dental Implantology has recently fully come of age after at least three
decades of clinical trials. It has finally become fully accepted by a previously sceptical scientific community. Today, millions of successfull dental implants have been successfully placed as more and more people are finding out about the benefits of the amazing dental implant system.
The downside to dental implants for many people is simply the high cost demanded in most countries. At Smile Savers Hungary we have a the solution that brings the advantages of dental implants into many more peoples grasp.
Dental Implant Information
During the last 30 years the use of dental implants has
changed dentistry beyond recognition. Implants are no longer considered experimental
and it is equally rare to come across situations where they cannot be used
at all.
Following is a an extract of frequently asked questions about dental implants and associated subjects such as bone grafting which
is meant to serve as an explanation of what can be quite a complex subject.
Whenever a tooth is lost or extracted a considerable
amount of the bone that once surrounded the remaining root portion may
disappear. This loss can be particularly rapid during the first few months
and is described as 'bone resorption'. Although the rate and amount of
bone resorption is highly variable between individuals, it will always
occur to some extent, unless specific care is taken to reduce its effects.
Sometimes, the simplest measure to minimise bone loss after an extraction
is to place the implant immediately or within the first few weeks.
Dentures - Many patients report that after a while their
dentures become progressively looser and do not fit as well as they once
did. Initially the increased rate of bone loss following extractions
is responsible for the observed deterioration of denture fit. Over the
long-term it is the direct effect of chewing forces that causes slow
resorption of supporting bone. Most people who have had dentures for
many years will have needed a reline procedure to compensate for this
bone loss. Therefore the longer dentures are worn, the more the amount
of bone available for dental implants may be reduced.
Where
can you get extra bone from?
Bone can be harvested from a number of sources such
as the hip, tibia, chin and posterior regions of the lower jaw. When
you use your own bone to create new bone in another area of the mouth
you will have to contend with the discomfort created by the donor site
as well as the surgical site. Many people feel this is well worth any
additional discomfort as your own bone is normally considered the 'gold
standard'.
Hungary is in sharp to contrast to most European countries
in that it has a hugely competitive army of highly trained dental professionals
fighting for a relatively small home market. Competition has been stoked
further by waves of foreign clients initially crossing the immediate borders
from Austria and Germany in search of a better deal. Now, with the recent
entry of Hungary into the EU, it's marketplace has expanded and competition
has grown even more fierce producing some of the best clinics Budapest has ever
seen. Prices have remained constant and in some cases fallen whilst quality
and levels of service have risen sharply.
Hungary and specifically Budapest is now a world leader in dentistry. No
one else has so many highly trained and experienced dentists per capita.
