An unfortunate side effect of pyorrhoea is the gradual loss of jaw bone which we attempt to regain by the use of internationally accepted bone graft materials. In addition to this we also successfully regenerate the bone by using the latest technologies of bone regeneration using the patient's own blood like PRF technology.
