The process of bone formation is a crucial component of oral surgery, particularly in instances where bone deficiencies or defects exist. The success of bone formation in oral surgery depends on different factors, such as the quality and quantity of the bone graft, the patient’s local and systemic conditions, and surgical techniques. The major aim of this review is to provide a brief overview of the basics of bone formation and describe the concepts related to the regeneration of bone in oral surgery. This article also highlighted different factors leading to bone loss and the potential risks related to dental implant surgery. The article places particular emphasis on osteonecrosis, which occurs due to an improper supply of blood to the bone tissue. This article concludes that further research is needed to explore different techniques to encourage efficient and safe formation of bone in oral surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
