This is a procedure to build up the insufficient volume of the bone layer at the site of the intended implant placement.

If the examination before implantation shows a lack of bone in width or height, the patient may need bone grafting.

Indications for bone grafting during implantation:

Long-term absence of teeth. Provokes atrophy and reduction of the volume of the tubular bone.
Injury or difficult tooth extraction. Leads to bone loss in the width and height of the alveolar ridge in the area of the dental roots.
Anatomical features of the jaw system. The large maxillary sinus and thin alveolar ridge in the lower jaw do not allow immediate placement of implants after removal of dental units.
Periodontitis and periodontal disease. These pathologies are accompanied by active destruction of bone tissue and in some cases require restoration of the lost volume.
