Bone grafting after a tooth extraction is a procedure that replaces bone in the area where the tooth was extracted. This is done to maintain the structure of the jaw and preserve the natural topography of bone. Bone grafting is usually done after teeth have been removed due to trauma, infection, or decay. Bone grafting can also be used in cases where a dental implant is being placed to provide extra support and stability. In this procedure, a bone substitute or a natural bone material is used to fill the area where the tooth was removed, providing a supportive structure and improving the overall aesthetic of the face. Over time, the body absorbs the graft material, leading to a fully integrated region of new, strong bone.
