Bone Grafting
Bone Grafting Procedure in Turkey
Medical bone graft, which is also called bone reconstruction, is an important part of many dental treatments. It is the process of replacing the tooth’s missing or damaged bone.
If someone loses a tooth because of an accident or damage, the bone around it shrinks and breaks down over time. The surgeon can’t place dental implants if the bone around the tooth isn’t strong and stable.
Bone size and quality should be close to the patient’s original bone for the best dental implant operation result. Therefore, a bone graft is necessary if there is insufficient bone for an implant. Bone grafting involves tooth extraction if needed, gum removal and bone washing, and bone transplant material insertion.
Why do I need bone grafting in Turkey?
Dental implants provides over a 95% success rate to treat missing teeth. The success of the implants rely on a strong jawbone to provide the posts with sufficient support. If your jaw is weakened, your new smile is bound to fail. Bone grafting in Turkey is used to increase the amount of bone that you have in your jaw to strengthen the best positioning of your dental implant.
Bone grafting should be done:
- If your bone isn’t healthy enough to support the implant
- If you suffer from a bone condition such as osteonecrosis (tissue death in bones)
- If you have a bone infection or trauma
4.If you have no allergies to treatment products.
Bone Grafting Methods
Allograft
The technique uses donor bone. External donors undergo several tests to ensure suitability. Public health agencies set guidelines for sterilizing bone tissue to make sure it is safe for the person who receives it.
Autograft
A piece of the patient’s own bone tissue is used in an autograft. The tissue comes from the top of the patient’s hip bone. To collect the bone tissue, the surgeon creates an incision in the patient. Using a patient’s own tissue improves fusion chances, although bone tissue is limited.
Bone Marrow Aspirate
The soft tissue inside bones is marrow. The stem and progenitor cells help bone fracture heal. The doctor takes a sample of bone marrow from the hip by inserting a needle into the bone. Allograft procedures can use bone marrow aspirate alone or with additional grafts to accelerate bone repair.
Synthetic Graft
Grafting uses artificial materials made of many porous components. Some have bone-building proteins.
Sinus Lifting
Sinus lifting is one of the most common treatments for patients losing upper posterior teeth. The maxillary sinuses move down and cover the bone if a patient loses a tooth, . Dental implant patients must have their sinuses elevated to implant bone. This is a risk-free method of correcting misalignment and enhancing general dental health.
Ridge Augmentation
The bone around the teeth, called “alveolar bone,” starts shrinking after the patient loses a tooth. Bone must be healthy to support an implant. Dental professionals employ this procedure to restore bone density for implant placement.

How is Bone Grafting performed in Turkey?
General anesthetic will make the surgery painless. After cleaning the area, your surgeon will cut through the muscle and skin around the bone that will be treated during surgery.
Your surgeon may potentially use a secondary incision to extract bone graft material. Your ribs, legs, or hip bone could be the source of bone graft. The surgeon will take out a small piece of bone using special tools.
Then she will place the bone graft material in the space between the broken bones so they can heal and join. Surgery will seal the skin and muscle around the treated bone.
Recovery after Bone Grafting in Turkey
After having bone grafting surgery, it is very important to get proper post-operative care. Please be sure to follow your dentist’s recommendations carefully for your fast and healthy recovery process. In the days following surgery, you might feel some pain and swelling.
Prescribed painkillers will help ease some of your pain. You will heal better and faster if you stay away from certain foods, take care of your teeth, and don’t do physical activities that can slow down the healing process. Also, you must avoid smoking during recovery.
The graft material gradually integrates with the original bone. This procedure might take several weeks. Recovery time depends on bone graft size and location as well as the age and general health of the patient.
