Bone Graft

Loss or resorption of mandibular bone alters and affects the height and density of the alveolar Crest, common causes may be, the extraction of teeth, dental work poorly done, periodontal (gum) disease, such loss may be due also to have suffered some trauma.

Loss or resorption of bone of the jaw can be restored by means of bone grafting, which is a surgical procedure that involves grafting bone to reconstruct the mandible below the gum line, in the part where the teeth are anchored, in Dental Evolution Cancun, we performed this surgery with great success, under sedation or anesthesia, its duration is approximately two hours and is performed as preparation for other dental procedures, as for example the installation of dental implants.

The benefits a maxillary bone graft brings are very important since they contribute to the formation of bone where there was no, as well as restore the physiognomy of the mandible in general, a healthy jaw allows teeth to remain in place and do not fall, because the loss of teeth can even bring deformations in the face, in the part that surrounds the mouth which tend to be very obvious, in Dental Evolution in Cancun, we are aware of how far this situation worries our patients, so that through a precise and accessible we suggest a diagnostic procedure that may help to reverse any problem that afflicts him, in this sense.

Several factors that affect the bone jaw deterioration, original teeth are embedded in the bone of the mandible, biting and chewing stimulates directly the alveolar bone, when missing a tooth due to an extraction or when using a denture not anchored, this relies on the gums and bone structure to hold it in place, that is why it do not make alveolar stimulation, on the other hand, some prostheses as bridges, remain in place thanks to the implants to be pressed when it bites and chewed, they do stimulate alveolar bone, but unfortunately under the bridge, at the hollow, where missing the teeth that have been replaced, there is no stimulation. Another recurrent cause of maxillary bone loss, are periodontal or gum disease, which by the way, in the majority of cases, are the product of an inadequate oral hygiene that allows to accumulate plaque plate, gingivitis is an infection and inflammation of the gums that destroys tissue and bone that supports the teeth. Causes of loss of jaw bone are injuries, when a tooth breaks or falls during the chewing, bone stimulation stops, misalignment is also a form of dental trauma, making the tooth without the opposite one, whether missing up or down, will make that the tooth without support, also suffers from lack of alveolar stimulation. When molars are extracted from the upper jaw, the upper maxillary sinus air pressure causes the resorption of the bone that was formerly occupied by molars, giving as a result the breasts to enlarge, creating a condition called sinus hyperpneumatized, which basically means "sinus with a greater air space”.
