Bone regeneration

Placing an implant when there is sufficient bone is straightforward and safe. But what happens when, for various reasons, the necessary minimum bone isn’t present?

For implants to remain trouble-free in the medium and long term, a certain amount of bone is required around them. If, after assessing the quantity and quality of your bone using our cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) technology, we find that the bone is insufficient, two possibilities arise:

  1. We may be able to place the implant while simultaneously regenerating the missing bone.
  2. If the bone deficit is more severe and does not allow for implant placement in the correct position, we would first need to regenerate the lost bone, wait for it to mature, and then place the implants.

Our Approach to Bone Regeneration

At Vienna Advanced Dental Clinic, we prioritise using the patient’s own bone for regenerating lost bone.

Why?

The patient’s own bone is the best regeneration material available and the ONLY one capable of forming TRUE BONE. It is also the only material with a zero rate of rejection and disease transmission. Lastly, it helps to reduce the patient’s final costs, as it eliminates the expenses associated with synthetic bone produced by laboratories.

Where do we source this bone?

For cases with small bone defects, the bone found near the area where implants are to be placed is usually sufficient.

If the bone defect is larger, we access the area around the lower wisdom teeth to obtain a rectangular bone fragment that typically covers them. This fragment is processed outside the mouth and used in the reconstruction area.

  

The procedure is very similar to a wisdom tooth extraction, except that instead of removing the bone covering the tooth, the bone is taken whole and used wherever necessary.

Resin-Printed Bone Models

We have 3D printers that allow us to create an exact replica of the bone area we will treat, based on your radiography. This technology enables us to:

  • Simulate the procedure in advance, eliminating any need for improvisation during surgery.
  • Achieve greater precision in surgery.
  • Reduce the time required for the procedure.
