Your own bones: your natural path to a healthy smile
Autologous bones are bones that are removed from your own body and reinserted somewhere else. In dentistry, they are often used to strengthen and regenerate the jawbone, especially if you need a dental implant.
Your body accepts your own bone better than foreign bone. This is because your immune system recognizes your own bone as part of your body and not as a foreign body. The risk of a rejection reaction is therefore very low.

After the operation
There may be some pain or swelling after surgery. However, these symptoms subside after a few days. It is important that you maintain oral hygiene and have regular follow-up visits to ensure that the bone is healing well and achieving the desired result.
