Bone Grafting In Boca Raton
Imagine a body without bones. These structures provide support, shape, and protection to everything they surround. The bone around your teeth, known as alveolar bone, plays a crucial role in keeping your teeth in place. However, factors like gum disease, tooth removal, or trauma can affect the height, shape, and density of this specialized bone.
Once bone around your teeth shrinks, it does not regenerate. However, grafting materials placed by Dr. Rizvi can help stimulate bone growth in some cases. Various options now exist to promote bone repair in the jaw. For instance, when a tooth is removed, it leaves a hole in the bone that may shrink over time. Grafting materials can be placed during the extraction to prevent bone loss and preserve the area for future implant-supported replacements.
Specialized grafting material can help improve previously collapsed areas in the jaw bone. It's important to remember that bone loss caused by gum disease can lead to significant defects around teeth. While some areas may be suitable for grafting, others may have irreversible bone loss and compromised tooth support. It's better to focus on controlling gum disease with your My Dentist For Life team for improved health rather than relying on corrective surgical grafts.
PRF Sticky Bone: What Is It?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Sticky Bone is a cutting-edge technique that improves bone grafting results. By combining a patient's own blood components with the bone graft material, PRF offers several advantages:
- Enhanced Healing: PRF boosts the body's natural healing mechanisms, enhancing graft integration.
- Reduced Inflammation: It helps to reduce swelling and discomfort after surgery.
- Faster Recovery: PRF speeds up the healing process for both soft and hard tissues.
Incorporating PRF into bone grafting procedures leads to superior outcomes and a quicker return to normal activities, ultimately improving the effectiveness of the treatment.
