Dr. Gregory Toback, New London, CT Periodontist, Publishes Landmark Study on Bone Grafting Solutions
New London, CT (PRWEB) April 11, 2017 -- Dr. Gregory Toback, a respected periodontist in Westerly and New London, CT, recently published a landmark study with a team of leading dental clinicians in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology. This study discovered optimal techniques for bone grafting procedures and ridge augmentation after tooth extractions, specifically testing the ideal strategy to repair bone defects caused by oral infections. As a skilled board-certified periodontist, Dr. Toback offers leading periodontal care and specializes in dental implant placement at his practice, Shoreline Periodontics.
The alveolar ridge of the jaw is the area of the bone that surrounds the roots of the teeth. After a tooth is extracted, or removed, this bone may heal, or in many cases, the socket breaks and is unable to heal on its own. In other cases, bacteria caused by an oral infection, such as periodontal disease, can lead to bone loss and eventually additional tooth loss. Before a dental implant can be placed, a periodontist may recommend rebuilding this area in order to support the implant post and see long-term dental implant success.
One of ten surgical investigators, Dr. Toback, and his associates, treated a total of 40 patients involved in this study. Their objective was to determine the most successful treatment strategies of bone grafting areas affected by severe dental infections. Using two bone grafting approaches, patients were treated while monitoring bone healing with advanced dental microscopes. The results of the study showed the benefits of a collagen matrix bone graft material in repairing large defects.
This study represents one of the largest histologic studies of its kind and is just one of the many research endeavors Dr. Toback is committed to. As a periodontist in Westerly, RI and New London, CT dedicated to providing leading dental care, Dr. Toback offers experienced bone grafting treatment, tooth extractions, dental implant placement and periodontal care at Shoreline Periodontics.
