extraction and bone graft
by janszee, Sep 21, 2008 03:26AM
I am due to have 2 extractions at the same time - one on each side. The dentist wants me to have bone grafts due to the fact that I had taken oral Actonel for one and a half years. However, I have not taken Actonel for 4 months. I believe I am safe enough from future osteonecrosis to just have the extractions without the bone grafts. I am not going to have dental implants. One is the last lower tooth on R side and the other is the next to last tooth on L side. Neither shows when I smile. Any thoughts as to whether I can just have the extractions without the grafts?

Bone graft after dental extraction is not a routine procedure. It appears that your condition is not specifically indicated for bone graft.
