Bone Grafting and Regeneration
 

Periodontal disease results in deep pockets and bone loss around teeth. The bone can develop funnel-shaped defects that can be treated with bone grafts to stimulate bone regeneration and attachment. These regenerative procedures are done in conjunction with periodontal surgery. In cases where teeth have been lost or will be lost, bone grafting procedures are used to increase (augment) or preserve the remaining bone for future implant placement or other restorative procedures. Recent advances in periodontal regeneration include products that stimulate the body’s ability to regenerate lost periodontal structures. A combination of techniques and products is aimed at increasing regeneration, augmentation and bone preservation potential.
