What are Bone Grafts?

• Bone grafts are bone that is transplanted from
  one area of the skeleton to another to aid in
  healing, strengthening or improving function.
  Bone or bone-like materials used in bone grafts
  may come from you, from a donor or from a
  man-made source. In many cases they are used to
  fill in an empty space that may have been created
  in or between the bones of the spine by disease,
  injury, deformity or during a surgical procedure
  such as spinal fusion.

Bone Grafting Fundamentals

• Bone grafting refers to a wide variety of
  surgical methods augmenting or stimulating the
  formation of new bone where it is needed.
• There are four broad clinical situations in which
  bone grafting is performed
• To stimulate healing of fractures -- either fresh
  fractures or fractures that have failed to heal
  after an initial treatment attempt.
• To stimulate healing between two bones across a
  diseased joint. This situation is called
  arthrodesis or fusion.
• To regenerate bone which is lost or missing as a
  result of trauma, infection, or disease.
• To improve the bone healing response and
  regeneration of bone tissue around surgically
  implanted devices, such as artificial joints
  replacements

What are treatment options?

• Common options for bone grafting include
• Autografttissue transferred from one site to
  another in the same individual.
• Allografttissue transferred from one individual
  to another individual.
• Syntheticsynthetically produced materials and
  ceramics that extend the supply of available bone
  in an individual.
• Bone morphogenetic proteinnaturally occurring
  proteins found in the human body that help
  individuals form their own bone.

5
Categorization of Bone Grafts

• All methods of bone grafting involve adding some
  material to the specific site where bone is
  needed as a means of stimulating a new or more
  effective bone healing response. Now, minimally
  invasive bone grafting is available, meaning that
  the grafting can be performed with a needle,
  without a surgical incision.
• Osteogenic Stimulation
• Osteoconductive Stimulation
• Osteoinductive Stimulation

6
Osteogenic Stimulation

• Since only living cells can make new bone, the
  success of any bone grafting procedure is
  dependent on having enough bone forming
  osteogenic cells in the area. Areas of
  scarring, previous surgery or infection, bone
  gaps, and areas previously treated with radiation
  therapy are all likely to be deficient in bone
  forming cells.

7
Osteoconductive Stimulation

• Osteo means bone. Osteoconduction refers to
  the ability of some materials to serve as a
  scaffold on which bone cells can attach, migrate
  (meaning move or crawl), and grow and divide.
  Osteoconductive materials make it more likely for
  bone cells to fill the entire gap between two
  bone ends. They also serve as a spacer, which
  reduces the ability of fibrous tissue around the
  graft site from growing into the site.

8
Osteoinductive Stimulation

• Induction of bone formation refers to the
  capacity of a number of growth factors in the
  body to stimulate primitive bone cells to grow
  and mature, forming healthy bone tissue. Many of
  these growth factors are present in normal human
  bone. For this reason, methods have been
  developed to process human bone and prepare bone
  matrix which retains the normal growth factors,
  but limit, if not eliminate, the risk of
  transmitting diseases or viruses.

Benefits of Bone Grafting

• The process is much easier on the patient,
  requiring less surgical time and reducing
  post-operative pain to a minimum.
• bone graft now offers us the chance to preserve
  the shape and strength of the bony ridge long
  after the tooth is gone. This is important not
  only for the health and strength of the teeth
  surrounding the extraction site.
• The bony ridges of our jaws get their shape from
  actively holding the roots of our teeth in place.
  When a tooth root is extracted and not replaced
  with an implant or a bone graft, the ridge begins
  to resorb and reshape itself.
• Bone grafting may also be needed for other
  purposes and cases, too, like trauma,
  misalignmet, bacterial infection of the jawbone,
  tumors and sinus deficiencies.

10
Who Needs Bone Grafting?

• Your surgeon may want to use bone grafting for a
  number of reasons. Possible reasons include
  situations where healing may be difficult due to
  the use of nicotine (which has been shown in
  medical studies to limit healing of the spine) or
  the presence of diseases such as diabetes or
  autoimmune deficiencies. Other possible reasons
  include a large amount of bone or disc material
  that is removed during surgery, or spinal
  procedures that span many levels of vertebrae.

11
Which Type of Bone Graft is Right?

• Different surgical situations may call for
  different types of bone grafting and unique bone
  graft materials. If your surgeon says that he or
  she would like to use a bone graft on your spine,
  you should discuss this decision with him or her
  to determine which bone graft material they feel
  is best suited for your situation.

12
How to prepare for bone grafting surgery?

• Complete any pre-operative tests or lab work
  prescribed by your doctor.
• Arrange to have someone drive you home from the
  hospital.
• Refrain from taking aspirin and non-steroidal
  anti-inflammatory medications one week prior to
  surgery.
• Call the appropriate surgery center to verify
  your appointment time.
• Refrain from eating or drinking anything after
  midnight the night before surgery.

13
What do need to do the day of surgery?

• If you currently take any medications, take them
  the day of your surgery with just a sip of water.
• Do not wear any jewelry, body piercing, makeup,
  nail polish, hairpins or contacts.
• Leave valuables and money at home.
• Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing.

14
What happens after surgery?

• Elevate your upper body while you sleep and take
  acetaminophen for pain. If wearing a cast, apply
  heat to the injured area to improve blood
  circulation and promote healing. After the cast
  is removed, massage the injured area with ice.
• Finally, follow a nutritious diet and exercise
  the non-affected muscle groups to maintain your
  overall health during the recovery process.

15
How long is the recovery period after bone
grafting surgery?

• Individual bodies are different, so allow some
  room for your own unique healing ability.
  Otherwise, normal healing after an implant
  generally occurs.

16
Success rate of Bone Grafting

• The success rate for bone grafts in the jaws for
  the purpose of placing dental implants is very
  high. However, there is always a chance that the
  bone graft will fail, even if your own bone was
  used. Bone grafts are not rejected like organ
  transplants. Dentists don't know why some bone
  grafts fail. They do know that certain people
  such as those who smoke and those with certain
  medical conditions have higher risks of graft
  failure than others do.
