Bone augmentation is the treatment that allow the recovery of lost bone tissue for various purposes. These treatments are provided by the process of placing and fixing bone grafts, also known as bone powders, in the area of bone loss. Along with this treatment, aesthetic and functional losses caused by bone loss can be eliminated. At the same time, it can be ensured that a suitable area for implant application is formed in areas where implant treatment cannot be performed due to insufficient bone tissue.
In Which Cases is Augmentation with a Bone Graft Preferred?
Depending on various factors, such as age-related bone resorption, abscess formation, tooth extraction, gum disease, trauma, varying amounts of loss of jaw bone can be observed. In cases where the resulting loss affects the surrounding tissues or prevents treatment in the relevant area; bone augmentation can be performed to maintain the long-term health of the oral environment, restore the lost tissues, improve functional and aesthetic problems. In cases where it is possible to perform various treatments in the region, it may be preferable to perform bone augmentation before the treatments are performed in more ideal conditions and in order to be used in a long-lasting way. These treatments are often used at the stage of preparing the area for implant applications. In this context, the procedures of raising the height of the related bone, increasing its width, and moving the sagging sinus base to the upper position can be applied. In addition, bone grafts can also be used to create the ideal bone form around the implant in cases where an implant is planned to be applied instead of toothing in the same session as tooth extraction procedures.
How is Bone Augmentation Treatment Performed?
During the initial examination, along with the clinical examination, various examinations are performed on the panoramic X-ray, and the treatment plan is determined by the outlines. But to decide on the treatment plan in detail, it is necessary to conduct a more detailed examination by taking 3-D radiography from the patient. Through this radiography, the condition of the bone tissue and the relationship of the tissues adjacent to this area with the region can be observed in detail. A detailed treatment plan is created to ensure effective treatment by maximally protecting adjacent tissues. If the created treatment plan passes the joint approval of the patient and the physician, the treatment phase is started. In this context, the procedures to be performed can be completed painlessly with local anesthesia. After applying anesthesia during the treatment session, the necessary arrangements are made in the mouth so that the bone graft can be placed. A bone graft is placed in the area where it is planned to increase the volume of bone, which is most suitable for the patient. The amount of bone graft application may vary depending on the amount of deficiency in bone tissue. The establishment of immobility at the application site is of great importance for the ossification process to occur correctly. Therefore, after the bone graft is applied, the corresponding area is closed with the help of a special membrane. In cases where the bone graft required for implant application is minimal, bone augmentation can be performed within the same session as implant application, unless there is another condition that will be an obstacle to treatment. In cases where the stability of the implant cannot be achieved, it should be expected that bone tissue of a quality that can provide stabilization in the region will be formed by performing a bone augmentation procedure first to make the implant.
