Review on recent advancements of bone regeneration in dental implantology

Abstract

Dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. The use of dental implant for recuperation of missing teeth has expanded treatment options for both patients and clinicians. As a result of recent advancements and researchers in implant designs, materials and techniques the use of dental implants has increased tremendously over the past decades and is expected to expand further more in the future. The patients present with inadequate bone volume represent clinical complexity and often requires additional biomaterials and surgical procedures in order to ensure successful implant treatment. This review outlines the various graft materials used in bone augmentation in order to achieve predictable long term success of dental implants and on the recent advancement in the bone regeneration.
