Bone graft 9 months ago and still have pieces falling out - is this normal?

Question

I received a back in May and I am still constantly getting small pieces of bone graft that stick out and fall out of the site. Is this normal for this to happen after over 6 months??

Patricia Moezinia, DDS · Answer

No, this is not normal. But it can happen when the regenerated area does notheal properly, either by lack of postoperative care or poor suturing technique. I would recommend clinical and radiographic control to ensure that there is no infection of the regenerated area.
