Tooth extraction prior to getting dentures should remove all the parts of the teeth and bones, but sometimes it doesn't remove them all. When a tooth is extracted, the thin wall of bone will naturally collapse inward leaving a depression indent in your jawbone. Tooth extraction and other oral surgeries can cause pain during the healing process. Bone spicules aren't that serious matter of concern as they are completely normal. Bone spurs may grow following bone damage, or after bone loss like that caused by osteoarthritis. A bone spicule is a bony fragment or protrusion that may be loose or still attached to the jawbone after a tooth extraction. Some people seem to get them more than others, there doesn't seem to be a pattern to it. Bone spur, also called bone spicule, is the appearance of bony parts in your gum's soft tissue. Osteoid, in an extraction socket, is evident during a sound healing process at the apical portion (at the base) of the socket as uncalcified bony spicules after a vascular network are formed, and young connective tissue is formed at the end of the 1 st week. The body gets rid of such bone fragments post tooth extraction, dental implant surgery, or oral biopsy. My womderful fiane is filming the removal of a dental bone spur that formed nafter my final widsom. This is your body's way of removing extra bone. It took about 2 - 3 weeks for it to resolve itself. The patient's medical history was clear and not on any drugs. A bone spur occurs when a tooth is extracted and the bone improperly heals in the space where the extraction occurred. They were very painful at times but I just let them be until they emerged enough to pop out with my finger or tweezers :/ so after 3.5 months or so I stopped getting them. It later helps in the insertion of the artificial tooth. It should be pushed up and out during the healing process.


It was quite uncomfortable-especially when talking or swallowing. The bone may be from your own body, from a human cadaver, from a cow or synthetic bone.
