has anyone had more than 1 dental bone graft on same site?

Question:

Answers:
Do not believe all of what that first answerer said. First off, there are many companies that produce man made bone grafting material, which does not come from a human doner. And I can tell you that the company that I buy our human donated bone graft from, puts it through rigerous tests to kill any type of disease that it may carry.

That said, yes I have seen this be necessary. Not usually are two done, but if the first graft did not give the area enough bone, then the dentist may go back and place more.

Are you asking because you got charged 2 times? We don't charge a patient if we go back and place more in the same site.

Thousands of patients who underwent tissue, bone and organ transplants are at risk of developing serious diseases due to the use of untested body parts. Recent criminal charges detailed the illegal sale of untested body parts and tissue to hospitals, distributors and medical device manufacturers. The FDA is concerned that the recipients of untested body parts and tissues are potentially at risk of developing HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Syphilis and other infectious diseases.

The untested body parts and tissue scandal centers around Biomedical Tissue Services, which allegedly acquired body parts without donor permission and sold them for use in transplants performed at hospitals and other medical facilities within the United States. The owner and three other employees of Biomedical Tissue Services have been indicted in Brooklyn, New York for taking body parts without legal consent and without proper screening. It is believed that funeral home operators accepted money from the company in exchange for ignoring obviously forged death certificates and consent forms. The body parts and tissue in question have been distributed throughout the country and used in thousands of operations.

Biomedical Tissue Services sold these illegal body parts to several large companies including Lifecell Corp., Regeneration Technologies, Inc., Tutogen Medical, Inc., Lost Mountain Tissue Bank and Blood & Tissue Center of Central Texas. The FDA and most of the companies involved have not disclosed the number of patients that received the untested parts and tissue.
