How is Bone Graft Procedure Performed?
Dentists generally resort to autogenous bone graft treatment in the treatment of bone powder. This treatment is carried out by taking parts of the healthy tissues of the patients in the mouth and transferring them to the problematic area. Since the tissues taken are the patient's own tissue, no adverse conditions are encountered. Autogenous Bone Graft is a method used when the jawbone level required for implant treatment is not sufficient.
Swelling may occur in the treated areas after the bone graft operation. You can deal with these swellings and various pains by using various prescription drugs that dentists will recommend to you. During the recovery period, you should pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the grafted area. Otherwise, this can lead to infection and other dental problems. This treatment usually helps the patient to reach the required bone density within 3 months, and in this way, implant treatment can be started.
