Bone Grafting: How Is Care Planned?
The extent of bone loss, local infection, soft tissues and general health are assessed together.
Graft material, the site and healing interval are considered within the wider implant or tissue plan.
Bone Grafting: Treatment Stages
Materials and technique are selected according to tissue needs. A membrane or other supporting procedures may be considered. The relationship to implant treatment is planned individually.
Care and Review
Tissue healing takes time. Reviews assess the grafted area and suitability for the next treatment stage.
The method and ongoing care are determined by clinical findings, medical history and individual needs.
