In the case of the dental implants, the jaw bone may not have enough bone mass to support an implanted post and will cause the implant to fail. The upper jaw is more succeptible to the need of a bone graft than the lower. Think of it like nailing something into the thinnest end of an extremely thin board. What happens? The board splits. The bone graft helps bulk up the area of the jaw that needs treatment by fusing the osseous tissue of the graft and of the bone already present and allowing it to heal together. It may take anywhere from 4 to 6 months for the grafted area to be ready for treatment depending on the type of dental implant you use.

What are skin and bone grafts?
Skin Grafts: Transplantation of healthy skin from one area of the body (donor site) to another area that has lost skin due to burns, injury, or surgery. Bone Grafts: Transplantation of bone tissue to repair or rebuild bones damaged by trauma, infection, or disease; commonly used in dental, orthopedic, and spinal surgeries. Types of Skin Grafts: Split-thickness grafts: Include the top layers of skin (epidermis and part of dermis). Full-thickness grafts: Include the entire dermis and epidermis, offering better cosmetic results. Types of Bone Grafts: Autografts: Bone taken from the patient’s own body (e.g., hip). Allografts: Bone from a donor or cadaver. Synthetic grafts: Lab-made materials used to stimulate bone growth. Purpose: Skin grafts: Promote healing, prevent infection, and improve appearance of the affected area. Bone grafts: Support bone regeneration, especially where natural healing is insufficient. Healing: Both require good blood supply at the recipient site, and recovery time varies based on the graft type and the patient's overall health.

How does the SpinaLogic bone growth stimulator work?
It sends electromagnectic pulses into your body, which promotes the growth of bone grafts. Bone grafts are tiny pieces of bone, sometimes from a cadaver, sometimes taken from other parts of your body like your hip. The bone grafts are placed between vertebra and eventually grow to fuse the vertebrae together. This operation is called a spinal fusion. The bone growth stimulator must have been proven to work because my insurance not only approved the use of it, but paid for 100% of it when I had my spinal fusion. I also assume from their approval, that it must save them money in some way, such as less doctor visits if it makes the bone grafts grow faster than without it.
