What is Biological Bone Augmentation?

Nowadays, dental implants have become extremely common. However, in most cases, bone augmentation must be pursued before an implant can be placed.
A new method of treatment relies on a natural, biological approach.

Regarding dentures, there has been a trend towards implants for several years now. Compared to crowns and bridges, implants exhibit several significant advantages: They last longer, have a more natural appearance, and preserve the neighboring teeth. However, in approximately 50 per cent of cases, the existing amount of bone substance is not sufficient to successfully entrench the implants for the long term. In these cases, it is necessary to perform bone augmentation. Unfortunately though, commonly used replacement materials frequently evoke rejection reactions; furthermore, the risk of a hidden infection in the area of the implant is higher. Luckily, a promising natural alternative exists.

Biological Bone Augmentation (BBA) relies on available autologous material. The human body generally commands sufficient bone material in the mouth area. Vital bone cells exhibit a significantly better regenerative potential and ingrowth behavior than bone replacement material; this way, rejection reactions can be eliminated to a large extent. This website is aimed at emphasizing the advantages of Biological Bone Augmentation. For this purpose, we want to take a holistic approach and explain the field of dental implants as plausibly as possible in order to give you the opportunity to form your own impression.
