With bone grafts,
transplanted bones are used to fix and rebuild deteriorated or diseased bones.
This technique can be used for repairing mostly any bone in your body. The fact
is, when we break a bone, the healing process actually begins. If the break is not
too big, bone cells can fix it. Nevertheless, sometimes fractures can result in
losing a large amount of your bone structure and for that grafting may be
needed.
Bone grafting can
successfully be used for dental implant surgeries. These grafts actually ensure
the framework for the development of new bones. Although this procedure is
usually very safe, it can still pose some major risks. Some of these risks may
include infections, blood clots, anesthesia-related complications, nerve
damages, etc. These risks tend to fluctuate, depending on the exact reason why
you need a bone graft. Risks may be related to age or other illnesses including
diabetes, or if the patient is a smoker.
So, talking to a Parker oral surgery healthcare provider before the bone grafting takes place is essential. You should not hesitate and discuss every detail which may seem relevant, as collaboration can be the key to making this technological innovation work for your greatest benefit.
