Q. Please could you tell me what the longest period of time, before the next procedure is carried out, a bone graft and be left? And do they begin to deteriorate if left too long? Thank you very much for your time.
A. I tend to leave my bone grafts for 4-6 months before the implant is placed, the graft can shrink away if left un stimulated for too long. Once the implant is placed the graft will stay in place.
