Case 8 - Bone Grafting for Gum Disease
(BG) This patient was seen for bone grafting surgery on an important front tooth.
Gum disease can be a “silent” disease and is not always apparent. Here we can see the extent of the bone defect that was exposed once the gum was gently peeled back.
The bone defect was then re-constructed using specialised grafting materials, this provides the scaffolding for your own bone to grown into.
