Preserves Facial Aesthetics: Irregular decreases and volumetric insufficiency in bone volume in both the upper and lower jaws for various reasons can create aesthetic problems on the smile line. In particular, such bone loss creates an anomaly in the contour layout that provides a harmonious smile. These depressions become more prominent than the aesthetic restoration made and can create aesthetically unsatisfactory results. Therefore, in an ideal smile design, not only prosthetic structures but also soft tissue and bone harmony are addressed. Excessive bone loss can cause depressions in the jaw and facial region lines, creating a separate aesthetic problem. Consequently, bone grafting procedures are an important application that provides smile aesthetics and facial aesthetics.
Provides Functional Gain: With the application of a bone graft, the prosthetic structure alternatives to be applied for the patient increase. Thanks to both ensuring the stabilization of the removable prosthesis during its use and making the choice of an implant possible, the patient begins to perform chewing functions again. Therefore, bone graft applications have a significant share in the patient's regaining of chewing function. With the increase in the volume of the jawbone, there is a significant increase in patients' chewing and balanced biting functions.
Offers Long-Term Stability: It should not be forgotten that as the length and diameter of the implants increase, their rates of meeting and absorbing incoming chewing forces also increase. An ideal crown/implant ratio should be at least one. As this ratio increases, the horizontal forces on the implant will increase even more, and the success of the implant will be at risk. Therefore, increasing the amount of bone vertically and horizontally with bone grafting procedures allows for the choice of a wider diameter and longer implant. This situation provides a longer-term service life and increases the usage period of the implants.
Promotes Natural Bone Regeneration: Biocompatible graft materials trigger, support, and guide new bone formation. These grafts, which promote natural bone regeneration, become more compatible with body tissues. A good graft material not only accelerates the healing process but also reduces the possibility of complications that may occur.
