Dental bone grafting in Nice, your bone reconstruction

Recourse to dental bone grafting

To compensate for insufficient bone, there are various bone reconstruction techniques : filling grafts and apposition grafts.

• Preservation of the extraction socket:
  The socket is the cavity in the bone in which the tooth is anchored. Once a tooth has been extracted, progressive, irreversible and cumulative resorption of the alveolar margins begins. The "extraction socket preservation" procedure preserves a favorable bone volume.
  In the same operation, the tooth is removed and the socket filled with a bone biomaterial.

• Sinus floor elevation or sinus lift:
  This type of graft is designed to restore sufficient bone height from the canine to the molars to allow the placement of 10-12 mm implants.
  A biocompatible bone graft material is placed to support the sinus membrane in the desired position. This has the effect of spontaneously reforming the bone with your own bone cells.

• Appositional bone grafts:
  Performed on the maxilla or mandible, appositional bone grafts can be used to increase the height and width of the jawbone.
  The principle involves transplanting a volume of bone with a mature architecture. The graft is immobilized at the site to be augmented. It takes 4 to 6 months for the graft to integrate and consolidate properly.
