Jaw bone atrophy can become a result of oral cavity long-term inflammation process. Lack of bone level could be a major contraindication of any prosthesis, including teeth implantation.
Nowadays operations of bone level build-up or recovery are successfully conducted.
For such surgeries, depending on exact situation, different materials are used:
- Osteoplastic material in granules (see Bio-Oss®)
- diploid human cells, grown up in laboratory day before surgery (see Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)
- membranes (see Bio-Gide®)
Bone substitutes stimulate and accelerate the growth of the patient's own bone, which is formed in about 6 weeks.
Surgery: the cut of gum is performed, muco-periosteal flap is exfoliated, bone material is applied and protected by membrane, and the gum is sutured.
