What is Jawbone Powder (GRAFT)?
In cases of bone deficiency, the materials applied to the area where bone is desired to be formed are called bone grafts. These bone grafts can be taken from the person's own body (usually taken from the jawbone and hipbone), can be of animal origin (grafts of bovine origin) or can be produced synthetically.
In What Situations Is Jawbone Powder Used?
Jawbone powders can generally be used in cases where there is not enough bone to place an implant, when the extraction site is desired to heal without loss after tooth extraction, and to fill the area after the formations such as cysts or tumors are removed.
What are the types of jawbone powder?
Autograft
It is the process of transferring a graft taken from anywhere in a person's body to a different part of the body. In dentistry, it is usually taken from the jaw and hip bones for bone construction in the jawbone. Bone grafts taken from the jaw are taken from the front or back of the healthy jaw, especially.
Allograft
It is the name given to grafts taken from genetically different individuals of the same species. Its other name is homograft. Since the bones taken from cadavers are stored in tissue banks, they are easy to obtain. These grafts undergo various special processes to prevent the transfer of diseases while being taken.
Allografts can be obtained as mineralized, demineralized, chips, powder or whole bone.

Xenograft
The process of transplanting a graft taken from a different species to another species
Synthetic bone grafts
Bone grafts can be taken from the person's own body or from an animal, or they can be artificially produced by fabrication. These grafts are produced from hydroxyapatite or tricalcium phosphate materials.
