What kind of bone tissue gives strength and support?

---

The skeleton gives the body rigid support. Compact bone is dense, hard, and forms the protective exterior portion of all bones. The bone tissue is composed of several types of bone cells embedded in a web of inorganic salts (mostly calcium and phosphorus) to give the bone strength.

There are three kinds of bone tissue:
Compact tissue - the harder, outer tissue of bones
Cancellous tissue - the sponge-like tissue inside bones
Subchondral tissue - the smooth tissue at the ends of bones, which is covered with another type of tissue called cartilage.

There are three kinds of bone cells:
Osteoblast - found within the bone, its function is to form the tissue and minerals that give bone its strength.
Osteoclast - a very large cell formed in bone marrow, its function is to absorb and remove unwanted tissue.
Osteocyte - found within the bone, its function is to help maintain bone as living tissue.

Bone is living, growing tissue. It is made mostly of collagen, a protein that provides a soft framework, and calcium phosphate, a mineral that adds strength and hardens the framework. Bones have living cells (called osteocytes) bound together by a hard, calcium-like material. This makes the bone strong and rigid  (+ info)

Ridge augmentation for anterior bridge with bone or soft tissue?

---

I lost 2 front teeth as a teen -- some 30 years ago. I now need my anterior bridge replaced.?
I have gotten very different recommendations from different dentists -- to do a ridge augmentation with bone first before creating and ovate pontic. Or: to do a soft tissue graft -- Or: to do neither because neither would be stable. All procedures are very costly so I want to be sure to make the right decision. What is the right way to go?
Wow. wow wow. I'd love to help, but this is like asking which tie best matches the shirt you want to wear.... I absolutely can't do much at all without having all the data in front of me....xrays, your actual mouth, etc.

you obviously know if you JUSt do the bridge, you'll have a "black hole" under the pontic. so you have to build up the tissue level somehow. I would say by and large the bone is the most reliable. However, anytime you go messing aroudn with gums, it can be kinda unreliable! Periodontology can be a "fuzzy science" at times.

ASK the doc (preferably a periodontist or maybe oral surgeon) what the PROGNOSIS is for your procedure.. you're obviously gonna have to drop a few grand here, i would imagine...say, "Do you expect this to last 10 years? 15..20? they shoudl be able to give a shot in the dark that will let you know the duration for your investment.

You've had trauma there, so I assume there's not a ton of bone, or implants would be a better options.

let me know if any other questions!  (+ info)
