Bone
grafting is where the jawbone is built up to accommodate a dental
implant or other restorative device. Bone grafting is a common
procedure that is used frequently for dental implants and other
periodontal procedures. The bone used to graft is either taken from a
sample from the patient, or sterilized cadaver bone fragments are
used. They are harvested by bone banks and are a very safe source for
bone donation.
