Re: I have a question about bone grafting

[Guest guest]

Dunno if it's the same thing, but I had a bone graft under a back

molar, after periodontic disease had caused troubles. Mine was a

piece of cake, and I hope yours will be, too.

They used acid-washed cadaver bone, which looked like a little dab of

toothpaste. There were a couple of stitches, and I was done, in the

office, with no complications.

If they have to take some of your bone to do it, your adventure will

be different. Many people have complained that bone donor sites (for

the surgery) are more painful than the site of the graft.

Good wishes to you.

Thanks Cammie for answering back. I found out today it will be doner

bone. They put that in with some enzyme and the bone regenerates. I

am just so nervous. I am only 30 and I dont have peridontal disease.

I did have gingivitis but I got that under control with cleanings

every three months. My doctor said weird things happen. They called

what I had an acute periodontal absyess. Well I dont think I have

much to worry about. I just had never heard about bone grafting to

save a tooth untill this week.
