The domain of dental care has always been a dynamic one, with innovations and advancements reshaping treatments to offer more promising results. One such innovation is a xenograft. A xenograft bone graft is derived from a source that is non-human, typically bovine (cow). Unlike other grafts that are sourced either from the patient or another human, xenografts offer the advantage of being available in larger quantities, making them particularly suitable for more extensive bone rebuilding projects. One of the typical scenarios where xenografts are indicated is when there is a substantial loss of bone that needs to be addressed or when elevating the sinus in preparation for dental implants. The sinus elevation is crucial in ensuring that dental implants have a robust foundation in the upper jaw where the proximity to the sinus can sometimes pose challenges.
Now, the process is not just about placing the graft material. Precision, understanding, and planning play pivotal roles. This is where our cutting-edge diagnostic tools come into play. By harnessing the capabilities of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scans, we can visualize and interpret the depths and intricacies of bone structures in three dimensions. This detailed imagery is not just a glimpse into the bone’s current state; it is a roadmap that allows us to forecast and strategize our grafting procedure, ensuring the most optimal results.
Bone health is integral to dental well-being. Implantology is not just about placing an implant; it is about ensuring that it has a strong foundation for years to come. Regrettably, many face issues with their implants due to an oversight of the underlying bone health during the initial placement. We, at Periodontal Associates, take pride in our meticulous approach that leaves no stone unturned.
