Due to root fracture, deep cracks, extensive loss of tooth structure, and/or severe gum disease - a tooth may require extraction as it is beyond the point of saving with a root canal procedure.
In such cases, the next best option following an extraction is to fill the socket using natural or artificial bone material via a bone grafting procedure, in order to prepare the area for a future dental implant surgery.
As dental implants require adequate bone mass to merge with during osseointegration, bone grafting creates a stable foundation for the placement of the dental implant, ensuring a long-term restoration for the patient.
