Factors such as serious gum diseases, difficult and traumatic tooth extraction procedures, keeping inflamed teeth in the mouth for a long time, being toothless for many years can cause reductions in bone volume and thinning in the jawbones to the extent that dental implants cannot be applied.
In a patient whose dental implant is intended, if there is not enough bone volume in the jawbone after X-ray and intraoral examinations, auxiliary surgical techniques can be used according to the anatomical features of the area to be applied.
If the bone height is insufficient in the posterior regions with air cavities and sinus cavities, bone height can be gained with Sinus Lifting (sinus floor elevation and bone powder placement).
The lower jaw is usually The height of the existing jawbone cannot be fully utilized due to anatomical structures (Lower jaw nerve). In these cases, artificial bone powder application or bone transplantation operation obtained from another region of the jaw can be applied in appropriate cases. Again, in cases where the bone thickness is insufficient, a number of operations can be performed to expand the bone. It can also be done in two stages. This is usually related to the amount of bone volume available. After the intraoral and X-ray examination, the physician decides whether to perform the procedures simultaneously or in two stages.
For procedures to increase bone volume, the patient's own bone > as well as artificial bone powder can also be used for these processes. In cases where bone powder is used, it may be necessary to wait 1-2 months longer ossification in addition to the routine implant healing time.
