What can help bone graft grow faster?

No smoking & clean : In the oral cavity, not smoking and having a clean mouth are most important. Studies have shown that low vitamin d and high LDL levels negatively effect bone growth. Adding bioactive modifiers can accelerate bone growth.

Palliative: Keep the graft area clean to prevent any kind of infection. Immobilization to avoid any micromovement. Vitamine c and balance meal to help in healing. Follow up with your care provider.
