Bone Grafting–Part 1

When bone structure is missing, reconstructive surgery can add to existing bone. A tissue that is transplanted to become part of your body is known as a “graft.” Bone grafting is done in dentistry to build a solid foundation for dental restorations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are involved in Bone Grafting?

Different types of materials are used in bone grafting.

Examples Include:

  • Your own bone taken from one part of your body, the “donor site,” and moved to another part of your body, the ‘’graft site”
  • Bone taken from another person which is then sterilized and freeze-dried before being placed into your body
  • Bone taken from an animal, usually a cow, which is then sterilized and freeze-dried before being placed into your body
  • Synthetic and other materials
