Dental Bone Grafting Materials

Dental bone grafting materials serve to re-grow bone tissue that has been lost. When teeth rot, decay and are lost the bone that was supporting those teeth begins to resorb. Bone grafting is considered a minor surgical procedure, intended to replace and regrow bone material. During the procedure, a small incision is made to access the remaining bone tissue. Once an incision has been made bone grafting materials, which contains bone minerals, are injected into the gums. The material is then surrounded by a collagen membrane to protect the graft. Bone grafting materials vary and include biphasic calcium sulfate, hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate and more.
