Bone Transplantation and Bone Membranes (Membranes)
Bone transplantation is a surgical procedure in which bone material is used to replace missing or resorbed jawbone. Typically, bone powder (grafts) from bovine bone is used for this purpose. This material promotes the growth of new bone tissue and provides a stable foundation for dental implants.
Bone membranes (membranes) are used to stabilize the graft and encourage the growth of new bone tissue. They prevent soft tissue from entering the treated area and protect the wound during healing.
Benefits:
- Improves the jawbone structure for dental implants.
- Promotes bone growth and accelerates healing.
- Uses bovine bone material, which is a safe and effective alternative.
Healing Duration: Healing after a bone transplantation typically takes about 4 to 6 months, depending on the patient’s individual regenerative ability and the extent of the procedure. During this time, the transplanted bone integrates with the jawbone and provides a stable base for future implantations.
