Guided bone regeneration (bone "building up")
- The scope of the intervention and the complexity of the procedure
- The bone material used
- The qualifications of the surgeon and the clinic
The cost of guided bone regeneration depends on many factors, including the complexity of the procedure, the choice of materials and the qualifications of the doctor.
Anesthesia station for dental treatment under general anesthesia.
Target shot.
The ability to solve the most difficult tasks.
Minimal incisions during surgical treatment.
Before the procedure, the doctor conducts a detailed examination of the jaw bone using X-rays or CT scans. This allows the volume of lost bone to be assessed and the exact locations for regeneration to be planned.
At this stage, the type of bone material to be used is also determined and an individual treatment plan is developed.
During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the gum to access the bone tissue. The damaged or insufficient bone is cleaned of inflammation and infection to prepare the area for the placement of bone material.
Cleansing and preparation play a key role in the success of the surgery, as healthy tissue is necessary for regeneration.
After preparing the area, the doctor places the bone material in the desired area. This material can be natural (for example, taken from the patient or donor) or synthetic.
A special membrane is placed on top of the material, which prevents soft tissue from penetrating the regeneration area and protects the bone material, promoting successful healing.
After the procedure is completed, the incision area is closed with stitches and the patient is given aftercare instructions. During the first few days, swelling and mild discomfort may be observed, which can be relieved with medication.
Complete healing and integration of bone material may take several months, during which the patient must attend follow-up visits to assess the progress of regeneration.
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a dental procedure that aims to restore lost bone tissue in the jaw. It is necessary in cases where the bone is thinned or lost, making the installation of dental implants impossible.
The procedure allows you to build up bone tissue, creating a stable base for implantation. GBR is usually performed after tooth extraction, with bone atrophy, or in preparation for the installation of implants.
The NKR procedure involves several steps. The doctor cleans the area where bone restoration is required and places bone material (natural or synthetic).
A special membrane is placed over the bone material, which protects it from soft tissue migration. The membrane allows the bone to successfully regenerate, creating a strong foundation for further dental procedures, such as implant placement.
The recovery process after NKR depends on the scope of the intervention and the individual characteristics of the patient. Primary tissue healing can take from 7 to 14 days, but complete bone regeneration may take up to 6 months.
During this period, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations, attend check-ups and avoid excessive stress on the surgical area.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so the patient does not experience pain during the operation. After the procedure, swelling and mild discomfort may occur, which can be controlled with painkillers.
The doctor may also prescribe antibiotics to prevent infections and anti-inflammatory drugs to speed up healing.
