Bone Grafting

Bone grafting in edentulous sites is a crucial procedure in implant dentistry, aimed at restoring lost or resorbed bone in areas where teeth have been missing for a prolonged period. Over time, the absence of teeth leads to a process called bone resorption, where the underlying alveolar bone decreases in volume and density, affecting the ability to place dental implants effectively. Bone grafting helps address this issue by augmenting or regenerating the lost bone to create a stable foundation for dental implants or prosthetic rehabilitation.
