Tooth
extraction is a fairly common if treatment
at the dentist and are made in cases where
the tooth is so damaged that it can not
be saved. Healing process usually passes
without a problem, but part of the dentine
is lost forever. The result is that the
bone becomes less and less broad than it
was before the tooth extraction. Subsequently,
the gum volume and shape is affected. These
changes can occur anywhere in the mouth,
but the biggest bone and gum lost do you
get when you pull out the canine.
It
is important to keep the bone intact
Often after a tooth extraction, both the
bone and gum lose its function and its natural
appearance. A lost tooth can be replaced
with an implant, bridge or a denture. Sometimes
the bone loss so severe that further surgery
is necessary before the missing tooth can
be replaced.
Controlled
tissue reconstruction
A treatment in which a membrane is placed
over the damaged bone. This membrane stimulates
new bone to grow.
Bone
Grafting
Bone Grafting is a surgical procedure that
replaces missing bone due to previous extractions,
gum disease or injuries. The bone is taken
from your jaw, hip or tibia (below the knee).
Different
type of Bone Grafting:
Sinus
lift
Some of the upper teeth share the same bone
space with the sinuses (air cavities near
the nose). If one of those teeth is lost,
the bone around it can shrink away. Moving
the sinus membrane up and away from the
jaw. A bone grafting material is placed
where the sinus was. This technique makes
it possible to insert implants further back
in upper jaw.
Ridge-preservation
When a tooth is lost, there is a space,
or socket where the tooth root was. The
surrounding bone starts to shrink away from
the socket area. Ridge preservation involves
filling the tooth socket with bone grafting
material, usually in the form of granules.
The bone substitute stimulates growth of
new bone over time, forming a strong support
for an implant.
Reconstruction
of alveolar
Alveolar is a nerve that gives both lower
lip and chin the sense of feeling. Sometimes
this nerve has to be moved to make place
for an implant.
