Bone Expansion
Implants help restore fixed dentures and prevent removable dentures. Implants are important treatment methods that can have a lifelong function. However, for implants to have a long life, they need a sufficient amount of bone around them to feed them. Thus, the long-term success of implantation is ensured.
In cases where there is not enough bone tissue horizontally or vertically, the process of creating new bone tissue to meet the implantation criteria is called bone augmentation (bone expansion).
Bone powders, which are bone substitute materials, are used to create bone. These materials are produced synthetically in small grains or obtained from nature. Biocompatible synthetic membranes are used for fixing bone powders. Membranes are self-dissolving absorbable structures that do not need to be removed. Membranes have the task of separating bone from connective tissue. It allows bone powders to form new bone tissue without being disturbed.
We can say that placing an implant is the optimal treatment option because there is not enough bone or because of restorative considerations, it provides an opportunity to create new bone, strengthen the lost bone structure, and generally lead to successful aesthetic results.
The choice as to whether bone augmentation is necessary depends on a number of factors: insufficient bone tissue, space within the jaw arch, placement of the implant in an appropriate position, the amount of bone in contact with the implant surface at the time of implant placement, and the primary stability of the implant.
new bone formation procedures; They are auxiliary treatments that have an active role in the success of the implant, applied with the help of a wide variety of techniques that improve the life of the implant, chewing function and aesthetic results.
