Bovine Graft for Sinus Lift has disintegrated: options?
Last Updated: Oct 21, 2013
My oral surgeon used a bovine graft in my sinus lift to create bone for implants. Much of it has disintegrated. Another oral surgeon, upon his viewing my x-rays and seeing it was bovine, exclaimed “this is why I don’t use bovine”. What are my options now? Do I need to regraft? should I try bovine again? why is there such a difference of opinion as to bovine grafts?
