FAQ

How is it performed?

The first step involves examination and preparation of the teeth. Then, a retention area is created. Subsequent steps include material placement, shaping, and polishing. Once final checks are completed, the procedure is finalized.

How long does the treatment take?

The duration of the treatment varies from patient to patient. For specific information, you can consult with our dentists at Clinic EGO.

What materials are used?

Biocompatible materials that pose no harm to health are used. One such material is poly D, L-lactic acid (PDLLA), a polylactic acid-based barrier plate.

What dental problems can the box technique solve?

The box technique can be used to address dental issues like bone deficiency for implant placement, rather than tooth fractures or reshaping of tooth structure.

Who is it suitable for?

The box technique is often used for patients who have experienced tooth loss and are not suitable candidates for implants due to insufficient bone. There are no specific age limits for the treatment.

Can the box technique be used to close gaps between teeth?

The box technique is primarily a bone augmentation method and is not typically used to close gaps between teeth. Other treatments such as braces, aligners, or dental bonding may be used for this purpose.

How is the box technique used for dental aesthetics?

The box technique mainly addresses bone deficiencies for successful dental implantation. While it indirectly contributes to dental aesthetics by making implant placement possible, it is not used to directly reshape teeth or repair fractures.

Can the box technique solve teeth grinding problems?

No, the box technique is not a solution for teeth grinding, which is often a behavioral issue that needs separate management and treatment.

What are the advantages?

The box technique aids in the placement of dental implants in patients with bone deficiency, facilitating the restoration of missing teeth. This method provides a viable option when other treatments may not be possible.

What are the disadvantages?

The box technique may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with certain systemic health conditions or insufficient oral health. Additionally, it requires a healing period before dental implants can be placed. In certain complex conditions, other bone augmentation techniques may be required.
