Bone regeneration - Alvaro Ordonez

Bone Regeneration

Various procedures within the field of implant dentistry serve the purpose of bone regeneration or preservation. To achieve this goal, an array of bio-materials has been developed for placement at the surgical site, eventually transforming into native bone tissue.

Particulate Graft 

Particulate graft materials, available in small containers, come in diverse compositions and forms. These bio-materials can originate from different sources, including human tissue banks, animals (typically cows and pigs), and synthetic origins.

We meticulously select the bio-material that aligns with your specific needs, ensuring predictable and secure outcomes. For these materials to evolve into your own bone, a source of cells and blood supply is necessary.

Block Graft

The block graft technique is employed to repair or enhance sites with substantial bone volume deficiency. Deemed one of the most intricate and technique-demanding procedures in implant dentistry, it necessitates a high level of expertise.

The procedure involves extracting a segment of bone (bone block) from areas such as the chin or ramus. This block is then transplanted to the area requiring increased bone volume and secured using two fixation screws.

Multiple techniques exist for block graft harvesting and placement. Dr. Ordonez has mastered each approach, achieving a remarkable success rate in reconstructing severely atrophied mandibles and maxillas.

BMP Graft

A pivotal advancement in implant dentistry is the application of Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) for bone regeneration and reconstruction. The utilization of BMP has enabled us to achieve bone growth beyond past aspirations.

This remarkable bio-material is used in tandem with particulate or block grafts, serving as a catalyst for enhanced bone formation. Under microscopic examination, this type of bone resembles “Nu bone” or an exceptionally youthful bone. The incorporation of BMP has notably enhanced predictability in regenerative bone surgery for dental implants, rapidly revolutionizing our surgical approaches.

The art of bone preservation and growth entails intricate techniques and demands seasoned expertise.

Drawing from years of experience, Dr. Ordonez has adeptly performed these procedures and provided personalized training to fellow practitioners in these intricate methodologies.
