Bone Grafts
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure where bone material is transplanted to a different location within the body, typically the jawbone, to augment, repair, or regenerate bone tissue. It plays a crucial role in various dental and facial reconstructive surgeries.
Following bone grafting surgery, some swelling, discomfort, and minor bleeding are expected. Pain medication will be prescribed to manage discomfort. Healing time varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and the type of graft material used. Autogenous grafts typically heal faster than allografts or xenografts. It's crucial to maintain good oral hygiene and follow your dentist's or surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully to promote optimal healing.
