In order to proceed with the placement of the implants, a sufficient amount of bone is necessary both in height and in thickness. When the patient loses one or more teeth, there is a gradual melting or resorption of the jaw bone. Other factors can accelerate bone loss such as gum disease, wearing dentures, smoking, and taking certain medications. Bone grafting therefore allows us to regenerate or preserve bone and restore adequate bone architecture to place implants and obtain a functional and aesthetic result. Depending on the situation, the transplant will be performed at the same time as the placement of the implant or before the placement of the implant. Most bone defects can be corrected with bone particles of animal or human origin. However, in some cases the best option is to use the patient's bone. This bone is most often taken from the lower jaw.
