Bone Regeneration in Periodontal and Implant Treatment

Bone Regeneration in Periodontal Treatment

In the past, the main goal of periodontal treatment was mainly to cease and prevent further bone loss. Advances in molecular biology and the evolution of biomaterials in recent years offer, – in many cases- the possibility of periodontal tissue regeneration. More specifically teeth which had to be extracted can now be preserved in patients’ mouths for years and without symptoms.

Our clinic’s extensive experience in regenerative periodontal treatment allows us to treat the most challenging cases, using documented techniques with spectacular results.

Bone Regeneration in Implant Treatment

Until a few years ago, the inability to regenerate certain bone defects resulted in placing implants in areas that were not always ideal, since the main criterion for implant placement was not the site of the prosthetic restoration, but the preexisting in the area bone tissue. Today we are able to restore to their original condition even large jaw bone defects, so that the implants are placed in the ideal positions.

Our clinic, having many years of experience in the field of bone regeneration, has evolutionized traditional protocols of bone regeneration, using safe techniques for our patients. Additionaly the option of volumetric tomography with a state-of-the-art cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanner allows the accurate calculation of the amount of bone existing in the area where implants are to be placed. The patient is informed in advance about the need for bone regeneration and the treatment plan for this area is organized accordingly.

In recent years, the use of stem cells, as well as of growth factors from the patient’s blood, – important substances that promote healing – is a significant progress in the field of bone regeneration. The isolation and processing of these factors is performed in our clinic, in a special centrifuge device, after blood sampling. The integration of these blood concentrates named A-PRF  in the traditional bone regeneration protocols maximizes the results of bone regeneration in a completely natural and safe way.
