What is a bone wrap?

Question

Jose Valenzuela, DDS · Answer

Hello,
In bone grafting, a piece of bone is removed from another part of 
your jaw or your body &mdash; your hip, for example &mdash; and transplanted to your
 jawbone. Another option is to use artificial bone (bone commercially 
available) to place in these areas. It may take several months for the 
transplanted bone to grow enough new bone to support a dental implant.
In some cases, you may need only minor bone grafting, which can be 
done at the same time as the implant surgery. The condition of your 
jawbone determines how you proceed.

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone with material from patient′s own body, an artificial, synthetic, or natural substitute. Bone grafting is possible because bone tissue has the ability to regenerate completely if provided the space into which it has to grow. As natural bone grows, it generally replaces the graft material completely, resulting in a fully integrated region of new bone.
