A member asked:
When bone graft material is placed into a tooth socket and hardens without an implant about how long til it totally wears away in a molar site?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bone graft: It depends upon the type of bone graft material, your general health, amount of bone loss, etc. Generally about 3-4 months, sometimes longer until bone matures.
