Implant treatment for bone deficiencies
For bone grafting, the areas where implants will be placed must be examined and a detailed clinical examination must be performed. If a problem related to oral-dental health or gum health is determined during the clinical examination, there are steps that must be taken before performing an implant treatment. A radiographic examination is necessary to evaluate the height, thickness, and quality of the bone. Patients with low or borderline bone density must also undergo a dental tomography to eliminate errors, and the treatment is then planned based on the results.
Is a panoramic X-ray sufficient?
Panoramic X-rays provide two-dimensional information. They do not provide clear measurement results for patients with low or borderline bone density. This is why planning an implant treatment requires a three-dimensional dental tomography. A tomography provides detailed images of the bone and soft tissues, which are not visible on standard X-rays.

Questions & Answers
Can I receive implant treatment even if I have osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis in the body is completely different from osteoporosis in the mouth. People with osteoporosis in the body may not have dental osteoporosis, and people with dental osteoporosis may not have it in the body. For this reason, it is necessary to undergo a detailed dental examination before any implant treatment.
How is bone created if the amount of bone in the upper jaw is too low?
There may be extreme bone loss in the upper jaw, or the cavities in the upper jaw, called sinuses, may be sagging. In this case, a sinus lift is performed to increase the amount of bone. At the same time, a bone graft is applied to increase the quantity and volume of the bone. It may be necessary to wait 3-5 months for the bone volume to increase and fuse after a bone powder graft application before a successful implant treatment can be performed.
