Bone grafting is a surgical procedure used to replace or regenerate bone tissue that has been lost due to injury, disease, or trauma. During the procedure, bone graft material is placed in the affected area, providing a scaffold for new bone growth to occur. The graft material can be sourced from the patient’s own bone (autograft), a donor or cadaver (allograft), synthetic materials, or animal sources (xenograft). Over time, the body integrates the graft material, allowing new bone to form and restore strength and volume to the area. Bone grafts are commonly used in dental implant procedures to enhance bone density and support implant stability, as well as in treating fractures, defects, and deformities in the bones of the jaw, face, and elsewhere in the body.
