Synthetic Osseous Grafting

A Necessary Component to Oral Reconstruction

  • Chapter
Biomaterials Engineering and Devices: Human Applications

Abstract

Dental bone grafts (BGs) play an important role in situations in which structural or functional support, or both, is necessary. BGs are used to provide a scaffold for bone regeneration: promoting union of osteotomies and fractures; augmenting bony defects caused by trauma or surgery; restoring bone loss caused by dental disease; filling extraction sites to preserve the height and width of the alveolar ridge (ridge preservation); and augmenting and reconstructing the alveolar ridge (1,2). In addition to alveolar ridge preservation and augmentation and repair of bony defects, grafting is being performed to improve the outcome of implant dentistry through sinus lift procedures of the maxillary sinus and to fill bony voids (e.g., in the immediate postextraction implant) and the osteotomy created during traditional implant surgery (3).
