At Nevada OMS, surgeons and prosthodontists dedicated to the most advanced placement and restoration of dental implants are always looking for ways to introduce the latest technologies to the advantage of patients.
One such area is in the advancement of bone grafting materials that facilitate implant integration through the reconstruction of missing alveolar bone at a tooth former location. Optimal osseous form provides optimal anchoring surfaces that achieve the highest success rates and longevity for implants.
Autografts from traditional bone sources, taken from the patient’s hip or other anatomical location, pose risks of donor site pain/morbidity. Conversely allografts using banked donor bone suffer with delays in incorporation during the remodeling process. Recently, synthetic graft alternatives now provide real choices.
A biosorbable collagen and calcium phosphate membrane will serve to place an absorbable barrier to isolate defects during healing, delay the integration of soft tissue, and allow bone formation in. Other demineralized freeze-dried allograft dentin matrices will be impregnated with osteoinductive bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs), which will promote a faster ingrowth of bone.
Further, osteoinduction is accentuated by recombinant human BMPs engineered through genetic expression systems such as E. coli. Excellent choices such as OsteoGraf NT and INFUSE Bone Grafts that include recombinant BMP-2/7 circumvent the immune responses of classical allografts while osteoinductivity approaches that of autogenous grafting.
New avenues were offered to regenerative materials in methods of alveolar ridge expansion, cosmetic contouring, sinus lifts, or vertical bone regeneration. Today, 3D printing enables anatomy-precise construction of scaffolds guiding cell growth from computed tomography data scanned and fitted to every defect.
Such pre-formed titanium implants integrate within synthetic bone mineral constructs derived from rhBMP-2/7 or magnesium TCP/HA matrices that can reliably enhance generation to place dental implants with shorter healing times.
The use of guided bone regeneration procedures at Nevada OMS, using advanced synthetic options, then allows for reconstruction supported by implant, opening possibilities to those who may otherwise be limited. Their performances in osseointegration are now paired with specialized surgical techniques to further expand reconstructive options for the full restoration of function through implant dentistry.
Consultations will address maximizing individual plans through revolutionary materials that advance the barriers of successful dental implant placements and restorations. Trust our expertise in regenerative techniques to transform the restoration potential.
