There are many different bone grafting techniques ranging from patient sourced to the less aggressive synthetic bone grafting. The more intrusive but Gold Standard of bone grafting is where bone is harvested from a number of sources such as the hip, tibia, chin and posterior regions of the lower jaw. When you use your own bone to create new bone in another area of the mouth you will have to contend with the discomfort created by the donor site as well as the surgical site. Many people feel this is well worth any additional discomfort as your own bone is normally considered the 'gold standard'. For those who would prefer an easier, but slightly slower solution, there are other sources of bone specially prepared to make them safe for use in humans. All of these materials including your own bone, simply provide a scaffold into which new bone will grow and consolidate ready to receive dental implants a few months later.New bone can take anything from 4 to 6 months before it is ready to receive dental implants. Do not be in a hurry to move to the next stage. If you need a large volume of bone it will take longer to mature than a small amount. Each surgeon will have his or her preferred way of creating new bone. Many of them will also use a supplementary technique called 'guided tissue regeneration'. Using this technique slow moving bone cells are given time to fill a space by placing a barrier material between them and the fast moving cells of the soft tissues lining the mouth. When this technique was originally developed the barrier material had to be removed during a separate surgical stage a few months later. Whilst these original materials are still in use, it is now more common to use a 'resorbable barrier' that will disappear naturally a few months after it has done its work.

decades of clinical trials. It has finally become fully accepted by a previously sceptical scientific community. Today, millions of successfull dental implants have been successfully placed as more and more people are finding out about the benefits of the amazing dental implant system.
The downside to dental implants for many people is simply the high cost demanded in most countries. At Smile Savers Hungary we have a the solution that brings the advantages of dental implants into many more peoples grasp.
Dental Implant Information
During the last 30 years the use of dental implants has
changed dentistry beyond recognition. Implants are no longer considered experimental
and it is equally rare to come across situations where they cannot be used
at all.
Following is a an extract of frequently asked questions about dental implants and associated subjects such as bone grafting which
is meant to serve as an explanation of what can be quite a complex subject.
Each surgeon will have his or her preferred way of
creating new bone. Many of them will also use a supplementary technique
called 'guided tissue regeneration'. Using this technique slow moving
bone cells are given time to fill a space by placing a barrier material
between them and the fast moving cells of the soft tissues lining the
mouth. When this technique was originally developed the barrier material
had to be removed during a separate surgical stage a few months later.
Whilst these original materials are still in use, it is now more common
to use a 'resorbable barrier' that will disappear naturally a few months
after it has done its work.
How
many teeth can be supported by implants?
All the common forms of tooth replacement, such as
bridges or dentures can be replaced by dental implants. If you are missing
just one natural tooth, then one implant is normally all that will be
needed to provide a replacement. Larger spaces created by two, three
or more missing teeth do not necessarily need one implant per tooth,
however the exact number of implants will depend upon the quality and
volume of bone at each potential implant site.
Occasionally, it is even possible to join natural teeth to implants with
a conventional bridge thus saving the expense of an additional implant.
In the upper jaw, bone density is generally poorer than in the lower
and if you have no teeth at all, most treatment providers will want to
place a minimum of 8 implants to support a complete arch of 12 or more
replacement teeth. In the lower jaw, the bone towards the front of the
mouth is often very strong and as a direct result, fewer implants may
be needed than are required to treat a whole upper jaw.
