Bone regeneration is a type of dental procedure designed to stimulate new bone growth in the jaw, often in preparation for dental implants.
When Is Bone Regeneration Necessary?
Bone regeneration is often necessary when significant bone loss has occurred. Conditions such as periodontal disease, trauma, or tooth loss can lead to bone deterioration. Bone regeneration can also be crucial before implant placement to ensure adequate bone support. Specific instances that call for bone regeneration include the following:
- Preparing for dental implants
- Addressing bone defects or deformities
- Repairing bone loss caused by periodontal disease
