Tipos de injerto óseo

Some of the most common types of bone grafting include:

Elevación del seno

The maxillary sinuses are air-filled spaces above the upper jawbone. A loss of bone in this area requires a special bone-grafting procedure called a “sinus lift” to rebuild the bone in preparation for a dental implant. Also known as “sinus augmentation”, this common procedure is done by raising the sinus membrane and placing bone-grafting material underneath it. This procedure has revolutionized care for those with no upper teeth who would like a more comfortable and convenient option than dentures can provide.

Preservación de zócalo

Cuando se extrae un diente, it leaves behind an empty socket. Because there is no tooth to stimulate the jawbone, the socket may expand as the jawbone resorbs due to lack of use. Socket preservation is a preventative measure that is performed by implanting bone grafting material at the same time as extraction to preserve the jawbone for future tooth replacement.

Aumento de cresta

Ridge augmentation is similar to socket preservation in that it involves the repair of the bone underneath an empty tooth socket. sin embargo, en lugar de ser hecho al mismo tiempo que la extracción (como con la preservación socket), que se realiza después de que ya se ha producido la resorción ósea. El tratamiento implica la implantación de material de injerto óseo en el sitio para que actúe como andamiaje para el crecimiento de hueso nuevo..

Reposicionamiento del nervio

Nerve repositioning is the process of moving the inferior alveolar nerve to make room for dental implants in the lower jaw. Durante el procedimiento, the nerve is moved out of the way for implant installation and then replaced. The pockets are then filled with bone grafting material to bulk up the jawbone. Because this nerve is responsible for feeling in the lower lip and chin, there is often postoperative numbness, which can sometimes be permanent. Por esta razón, it is considered to be an aggressive treatment choice and requires very careful consideration.

The process of injerto de hueso has opened up a world of possibilities when it comes to the replacement of missing teeth.
