Bone Grafting Techniques

There are many different bone grafting techniques ranging from patient sourced to the less aggressive synthetic bone grafting. The more intrusive but Gold Standard of bone grafting is where bone is 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'. For those who would prefer an easier, but slightly slower solution, there are other sources of bone specially prepared to make them safe for use in humans. All of these materials including your own bone, simply provide a scaffold into which new bone will grow and consolidate ready to receive dental implants a few months later.New bone can take anything from 4 to 6 months before it is ready to receive dental implants. Do not be in a hurry to move to the next stage. If you need a large volume of bone it will take longer to mature than a small amount. Each surgeon will have his or her preferred way of creating new bone. Many of them will also use a supplementary technique called 'guided tissue regeneration'. Using this technique slow moving bone cells are given time to fill a space by placing a barrier material between them and the fast moving cells of the soft tissues lining the mouth. When this technique was originally developed the barrier material had to be removed during a separate surgical stage a few months later. Whilst these original materials are still in use, it is now more common to use a 'resorbable barrier' that will disappear naturally a few months after it has done its work.

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.

You can read the full list of questions and answers on dental implants here.

Question and Answers

If you do not have enough bone what can be done?

So far we have covered the building blocks that are part of routine implant placement. This has included the initial examination and diagnosis, sedation during surgery and what to expect after the implants have been placed. However, for some people, bone loss after the removal or loss of teeth leaves them without enough to secure an implant.

Sinus augmentation - In the upper jaw above the back teeth, it is possible to increase the height of bone available by creating new bone in the sinus. This procedure is called a 'sinus augmentation'. A skilled surgeon can deliver very predictable results in this location and without the general success of this technique many patients would be unable to have implants in a part of the mouth where teeth are so commonly missing.

Onlay grafting - There are many ways in which bone can be added to, however one simple concept is to take a piece of bone from somewhere else and secure it as an 'onlay graft' to a deficient area. The new piece of bone will slowly join to the underlying region and when healed and mature, an implant can be placed in a more favourable position.

Can dental implants preserve bone?

This is one of the most important features of dental implants. Once in place and supporting teeth, everyday functional forces stimulate the surrounding bone which responds by becoming stronger and more dense. Like all things there are limits to how much work an implant can do. Your treatment provider will be able to discuss this in more detail as it relates to your case.

World Leaders

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.
