Grafting, CGF & Sinus Lifts

What is dental grafting?

Dental grafting is a restorative procedure designed to rebuild lost bone and gum tissue. This technique is commonly employed to augment the jawbone, enhance stability for dental implants, and restore facial aesthetics. Whether caused by trauma, periodontal disease, or tooth loss, bone and gum deterioration can significantly impact oral health and function. Typically, a bone or gum graft is performed either:

  • The day of dental extraction or 4-6 months before a dental implant is placed, 
  • The day of dental implant placement or,
  • 4-6 months after stage 1 of dental implant placement.

What is CGF?

CGF (Concentrated Growth Factors) is a revolutionary advancement in regenerative dentistry, harnessing the body’s natural healing abilities to promote tissue regeneration and accelerate the healing process. By isolating concentrated growth factors from the patient’s own blood, CGF therapy stimulates cell proliferation and tissue repair, facilitating optimal outcomes in dental grafting and other procedures.

What is the purpose of sinus lifts?

Sinus lifts, also known as sinus augmentation, are specialised procedures utilised to increase bone volume in the upper jaw, particularly in the posterior region where bone loss may occur due to tooth extraction or periodontal disease. This technique involves lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material beneath it to augment bone height and density, creating a stable foundation for dental implants.

How is bone and gum lost?

Bone and gum loss can result from various factors, including:

  • Periodontal (gum) disease: Bacterial infection and inflammation can erode gum tissue and damage the underlying bone structure.
  • Trauma or injury: Physical trauma to the teeth or jaw can lead to bone loss and compromise oral health.
  • Tooth loss: Natural teeth constantly stimulate the bone and gum during the act of chewing and talking. This maintains the respective thickness of bone and gum. However, when teeth are missing, the surrounding bone and gum may gradually resorb and recede due to lack of stimulation from tooth roots, resulting in diminished bone volume.

The Bone Grafting Procedure

  • STEP 1
    Assess the patient's oral health and bone density through 3D imaging techniques.
  • STEP 2
    Select a suitable bone graft material, which may be sourced from the patient's own body (autograft), donor tissue (allograft), tissue from an animal (xenograft) or synthetic materials.
  • STEP 3
    Prepare the treatment area and extract the patient’s own blood to separate CGF (Concentrated Growth Factors).
  • STEP 4
    The bone graft material and CGF are combined, and the result is placed at the site of bone deficiency.
  • STEP 5
    The graft is secured in place and covered with a protective membrane to promote healing.
  • STEP 6
    Over time, the graft material integrates with the existing bone, promoting new bone growth and restoring structural integrity.

In the realm of modern dentistry, dental grafting, CGF therapy, and sinus lifts represent groundbreaking solutions for addressing bone and gum loss, and enhancing smiles. Your dentist will discuss the need for such treatments at your consultation.
