In bone graft procedures, dental membrane and bone graft replacements are employed. When a tooth is lost due to an accident, dental illness, or old age, bone transplant surgery is necessary. According to WHO, around 30 percent of persons aged 65–74 have no natural teeth, while 16-40 percent of children aged 6 to 12 are afflicted by dental trauma as a result of dangerous playgrounds, unsafe schools, traffic accidents, or violence. Furthermore, periodontitis affects roughly 64.7 million Americans, according to the American Academy of Periodontology. As a result, the market is expected to grow fast over the anticipated period due to an increase in the number of patients suffering from oral and dental diseases.
Dental membranes and bone grafts are fillers or scaffolds that enable bone development and wound healing and are ideal for a number of therapeutic treatments such as socket filling, ridge volume preservation (also known as ridge preservation), and osteogenesis, or the production of new bones. Dental bone grafts are bioresorbable and do not respond to antigen-antibody interactions. Bone grafts are capable of restoring functionality without interfering with aesthetic appearance and can be placed at various locations in the buccal cavity for a variety of indications, including filling a local bony effect caused by infection or trauma, and filling a peri-implant defect caused by peri-implantitis. Dental bone grafts can be autogenous, allogenous, or xenogenous, and there are also viable alternatives like as synthetic bone transplants.
Demineralized bone matrix, hydroxyapatite, and collagen-based matrices are examples of these, and they have several benefits over dental bone transplants. For example, ReproBone bone graft replacement provides sterility, integrity, and increased surgical site stability. Grafton DBM, MinerOss, and NovaBone are among the commercially available dental bone grafts and replacements. The dangers of surgical failure and graft failure might make it difficult for consumers to believe in the success rate of these devices. According to Dental-Implants-01, the typical failure rate of dental bone grafts is 5-10%, due to infections and insufficient graft stability. As a result, implantation failure may pose a danger to the worldwide dental bone graft and replacements market's growth.
