Missing teeth in individuals, due to infection, accident, or age, can lead to loss of bone. In cases of missing teeth, there is a lack of the natural stimulus that comes from biting and chewing, is not present in the jaw regions without teeth.
The alveolar bone that supports teeth in that location is no longer regularly subjected to chewing forces after a tooth is gone. The body then naturally starts to resorb or break down the bone tissue, realizing that it is no longer needed to maintain the teeth. The lack of stimulation and then the resorption of alveolar bone often result in progressive bone loss in the jaw. As a result, the overall height, width, and density of the jawbone may diminish.
The Solution
According to Dr. Manohar Varma, a Dental Implants surgeon, the only solution to the problem of missing bone in patients for Dental Implants is bone augmentation or bone grafting. This procedure is known to grow back or replace the missing bone. The most common reason for bone grafting surgery by Dr. Manohar Varma, Dental Implant Surgeon In Visakhapatnam, is bone loss. The graft serves as a growing platform for the surrounding bone, and it eventually becomes integrated into the patient’s jaw.
According to him, bone grafting is deemed medically necessary in several cases where it is important to enable bone growth, repair, or support. When Dental Implants need to be placed; in cases where the mass of the existing jawbone is insufficient, bone grafting is an indispensable procedure to give enough bone mass and density to support implants. Insufficient bone support can lead to implant failure. The bone grafting procedure is proven to be a game-changer.
About The Procedure
Bone grafting is required when the mandible is too soft or thin to let the implant bond firmly, ensuring stability. Initially in the procedure, the patient is given anesthesia, the affected area of the mouth is cleansed. Following which, an incision is made in the gum to implant the grafting material. After stitching up the gum, it is allowed to heal.
