In case of bone deficiency and loss, the biomaterials applied to the area where bone formation is desired are called bone graft (bone powder). These bone grafts can be taken from the person's own body (usually from the jawbone and hip bone), or it can be of animal origin, or they can be produced synthetically in the laboratory.
Bone grafts (bone powders) are generally used in cases where there is insufficient bone in the area where the implants will be made, in cases where it is desired to be implanted in the same session as the tooth extraction (implant in 1 day or immediate implant) and in pre-implant sinus floor elevation operations.
It is possible to elevate and expand the bone bearing the teeth with bone powders with insufficient bone amount together with surgical procedures.
