✅ What is a Bone Graft in Dentistry?

  • A dental bone graft is a surgical procedure to restore or regenerate bone in the jaw. It is typically performed when a patient does not have enough bone to support a dental implant.
  • Types of Bone Graft Materials:
  • Autogenous Bone – harvested from patient’s own body (e.g., chin, jaw, hip).
  • Allograft – bone obtained from a human donor (processed and sterilized).
  • Xenograft – bone derived from animals (commonly bovine).
  • Alloplast – synthetic materials designed to promote bone regeneration.
  • Bone grafting helps the jaw regain sufficient density and volume, creating a strong foundation for implants or restoring facial structure after tooth loss.
