Titanium Meshes in Guided Bone Regeneration: A Systematic Review

The presence of satisfactory bone volume is fundamental for the achievement osseointegration. This systematic review aims to analyse use titanium meshes in guided regeneration terms gain, survival and success rates implants, percentages exposure. An electronic search was conducted Articles were selected from databases MEDLINE (PubMed), SCOPUS, Scielo, Cochrane Library identify studies which performed through particulate meshes. Twenty-one included review. In total, 382 patients, 416 meshes, 709 implants evaluated. average gain 4.3 mm horizontal width 4.11 vertical height. mesh exposure highly prevalent (28%). rate 145 simultaneous 99.5%; 507 delayed 99%. 105 97%; 285 95.1%. clinical currently available literature have shown predictability this technique. It has a high risk soft tissue dehiscence membrane although optimal management exposition permits obtaining sufficient prevents compromising final treatment outcome.
