Explain bone grafting please. Where are you getting this bone?

Bone grafting is essentially a scaffold. Wherever there is a bone defect, the site is opened and a powdered grafting material is placed in the ultimate desired shape of bone. Blood mixes with this powdered material and clots. This mixture is now a scaffold - your body invades this scaffold and builds new bone in place of the scaffold. The source of the bone graft depends on the type of the graft. Some bone grafts are synthetic - meaning they are man-made in a factory. Other bone grafts come from bone banks and are made from cow bone or human cadavers; this bone is very strictly sterilized and treated before being used in humans.

Bone Graftingis the replacement or
augmentation of the portion of the jaw bone that anchors the teeth. It's a
surgical procedure that's often done to reverse the loss or resorption of bone
that may have occurred due to tooth loss, trauma, disease or ill-fitting
dentures, and to rebuild the bone structure beneath the gums in preparation for
the placement of dental implants or other tooth replacements

When bone graft is
implanted in the jaw, it doesn't just simply fill a void in the bone; it may
also help promote new bone growth in that location. When successful, bone
grafting can restore both the height and width of your jaw bone. Bone grafts
are placed by material provided from"Bone banks" and it is a procedure that helps you
get Dental Implants when your jawbone is shrinking.
