Due some natural or other factors our teeth can be damaged so bone plating in teeth is used to cope up with the fractures and reduce pressure exerted on the lower jaw. It is used to fix the problems between the bones and teeth for a period.
People consider dental bone plating in teeth as scary treatment but it is safe and prompt procedure for replacing bone for dental reasons. Following is the information that helps you to understand the bone grafting
Little dental bone plating
Human jawbone holds the teeth in place and roots of the teeth are surrounded by bone. If your teeth are missing then jaw bone does not have anything to support. In the little bone grafting dentists remove the damaged tooth and preserve the bone by using tooth extraction. In the procedure demineralised, sterile bone granules are packed into teeth socket after the extraction process and couple of stitches is used to close the socket.
It is simple and safe procedure and has quick recovery time
Medium bone plating
If the tooth was removed or lost years ago then bone loss can occur which can prevent the restoration of area. In this case medium plating is used as missing tooth is opened with small incision and the bone surface is prepared for bone granules. In this case graft is protected with the stitches’ and membrane to close it tightly. It can be even used for multiple restorations
Big bone plating
Patients with the very long time missing tooth and having advanced bone loss are treated with big bone grafting. In such cases patients do not have enough bone to place the implants so it becomes essential to give extensive bone grafting treatment to restore missing tooth or teeth.
In this procedure combination of sterile human bone and the patient’s own bone is used to build the missing jaw bone for successful dental implants. Patient’s bone can be taken from jaw, hip or tibia and the block is anchored in the affected area with the help of bone screws and plates.
Grafts are protected with special membrane and as this procedure takes long time so the recovery process in this procedure is also slow and it takes long time to heal.
Although the bone plating in teeth is surgical procedure but it is safe and free from any side effects if done by the expert dentists.
