Bone augmentation, also known as socket augmentation or bone reconstruction, is a key procedure in dentistry and orthopedics aimed at rebuilding lost or damaged bone tissue. It is an essential step in preparation for dental implantation, orthopedic procedures, or in cases of significant bone loss due to trauma, diseases, or resorption.

Bone augmentation
Bones serve as the foundation for many structures in our bodies, including teeth. Bone loss in the jaw or elsewhere can lead to functional and aesthetic issues, such as difficulty in eating, speaking, or loss of the natural contour of the face. Bone augmentation allows for the restoration of these key structures, enabling subsequent implant placement and restoration of full functionality.
Methods of bone augmentation:
Methods of bone augmentation:
- Autogenous bone transplantation - utilizes bone harvested from the patient themselves, minimizing the risk of rejection.
- Alloplastic materials - synthetic or natural bone substitutes are used, which are biocompatible and safe for the patient.
- Allogeneic grafts - bone is harvested from a donor, processed appropriately to ensure safety and effectiveness.
- Xenogeneic grafts - bone material from other species is used.
Bone augmentation procedure may vary depending on the patient's needs and the method used. Typically, it starts with a consultation and detailed examinations, such as computer tomography, which help assess the quantity and quality of the lost bone tissue. Then, under local or general anesthesia, augmentation is performed using the chosen method. The healing process can take from several weeks to several months, depending on individual health conditions and the extent of the procedure.
Bone augmentation is an advanced medical technique that allows for the reconstruction of lost bone tissue, restoring functionality and aesthetics to bone structures. Thanks to modern methods and materials, patients can benefit from safe and effective solutions that significantly improve their quality of life.

The decision on the necessity of performing bone augmentation before or during implantation depends on the condition of the bone, which is assessed based on radiological examinations, including advanced CBCT scans, which accurately show the amount of bone in three dimensions. The augmentation procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia and is painless. After the procedure, the implantologist provides the patient with detailed recommendations regarding further care.
