There are several types of bone grafts, including autografts (from the patient's own body), allografts (from a donor), and synthetic grafts (man-made materials). The choice of graft depends on the patient's specific needs and the extent of the bone loss. One of the primary advantages of bone grafting is that it can restore bone volume and density, which may have diminished due to periodontal disease, aging, or tooth loss. This process significantly improves the success rate of dental implants and other restorative procedures. By using bone grafting, patients can preserve and strengthen the structure of the jawbone, making it easier to replace lost teeth with implants or other solutions.
