Implant treatment has become one of the most effective solutions offered by modern medicine for patients with tooth loss. However, it is of great importance to have enough bone tissue for a successful implant treatment. Bone powder, which comes into play at this point, stands out as one of the most important assistants of dentists.
What is Bone Powder and Why is it Used?
In order for dental implants to be firmly placed in the jawbone, there must be sufficient bone volume. However, when tooth loss is prolonged or the jawbone is structurally weak, implant placement can become risky. Bone powder is one of the biomaterials used to supplement the missing bone and ensure the safe placement of the implant.
The use of bone powder is important in the following cases:
✔️ Cases where the jawbone is insufficient
✔️ Sinus lift operations
✔️ Preventing bone loss after tooth extraction
✔️ Elimination of tissue loss after cyst and tumor operations
