Bone Augmentation

Bone augmentation is a procedure used to restore or increase bone tissue before or during dental implant placement.

The key requirement for replacing missing teeth with dental implants is having a sufficient volume of bone to support and surround the implant. After a tooth is lost, the jawbone inevitably undergoes some degree of resorption and atrophy. Modern implantology addresses insufficient bone volume through bone augmentation, which increases the volume of available bone tissue.

Guided Bone Regeneration

The most common method for treating small bone defects around a dental implant is guided bone regeneration. In these cases, a synthetic granular bone graft material is used. Its structure and chemical composition closely resemble the main mineral component of natural bone.
