What Is a Block Bone Graft?

A block bone graft is a surgical procedure in which a solid piece of bone (usually taken from the patient’s own jaw) is placed in areas with severe bone loss. It is commonly used to rebuild sufficient bone volume before dental implant placement.

When Is Block Grafting Necessary?

• Advanced bone loss due to long-term tooth loss

• Bone defects from trauma, infection, or cyst removal

• Low sinus floor position in the implant area

• Insufficient horizontal or vertical bone width

• Aesthetic implant placement in the anterior region

How Is the Procedure Performed?

1. The procedure is done under local anesthesia or sedation

2. A bone block is harvested (usually from the chin or jaw ramus)

3. The block is shaped and fixed with titanium screws to the deficient site

4. A membrane is placed over the graft to support healing

5. The area is sutured and allowed to heal for 4–6 months

What Are the Advantages of a Block Bone Graft?

• Restores large-volume bone defects

• Enables stable and long-lasting implant placement

• Uses natural, biocompatible (autogenous) bone

• Improves aesthetic and functional outcomes

• High success rates with proper planning and execution

What Is the Recovery Like?

• Mild swelling and discomfort for the first few days

• Antibiotics and painkillers are prescribed

• Healing period ranges between 4–6 months

• Implant placement is planned after sufficient bone integration

• Regular follow-ups are required during healing
