A friend who wants to implant teeth asked me that his alveolar bone is very thin and can be used to implant teeth. Generally speaking, there is no way to support the implant because of the absorption of alveolar bone or insufficient alveolar bone. What should I do? For alveolar bone absorption, try bone grafting.

Can thin alveolar bone implant teeth? Try bone graft

Bone graft is to implant alveolar bone from its own bone tissue or artificial bone, while increasing bone mass to meet the basic requirements of implanted teeth. Advanced instruments will be used to comprehensively analyze bone, bone mass, bone density and other data before operation.

1. Autogenous bone implantation: because the absorption of autogenous bone is too fast after implantation, there is not much clinical application. Bone is transplanted to the position of alveolar bone, which is rich in bone.

2. Artificial bone implantation: artificial bone implantation refers to the implantation of artificial bone powder. Because of the slow absorption rate of artificial bone powder, the bone removal process is omitted, and the clinical application is extensive.

3. Mixed implantation of autologous bone and artificial bone: If it is the bone graft for maxillary sinus elevation, it is recommended to select the mixed implantation of autologous bone and artificial bone. The bone healing speed is fast and the bone absorption speed is moderate.

How much is the bone graft powder for dental implant?

The price of dental bone powder is about 0.25g and 2000 yuan; About 4000 yuan for 0.5g, depending on the regional and hospital doctors.

Generally speaking, if you don't want to absorb the alveolar bone, it is recommended to maintain oral hygiene, master the correct brushing method, brush your teeth carefully twice a day, and use a dental floss stick to clean the hard to reach position of the toothbrush.

In fact, it is recommended to fill the gaps as soon as possible after missing teeth, whether it is false teeth or implant teeth, so as not to affect the health of other teeth.
