A dental bone graft is a surgical procedure that rebuilds or replaces missing bone in the jaw.
It involves placing natural or synthetic bone material where bone has been lost, often due to tooth extraction, gum disease, or injury. The graft supports new bone growth by acting as a scaffold, allowing the body to regenerate and strengthen the jaw. Dental bone grafts are commonly performed to prepare for dental implants, stabilize teeth, or restore facial structure. Materials may include autografts (from the patient), allografts (donor bone), xenografts (animal bone), or alloplasts (synthetic substitutes).
