Guided bone regeneration has been applied in implant dentistry for increasing the width and height of the alveolar ridge in areas with insufficient bone. Various materials and techniques have been used for this purpose. It refers to a surgical procedure by which utilizing a mechanical barrier to create a secluded space around the defect to permit bone regeneration without the competition of oth...

PURPOSE Silk fibroin (SF) is a new degradable barrier membrane for guided bone regeneration (GBR) that can reduce the risk of pathogen transmission and the high costs associated with the use of collagen membranes. This study compared the efficacy of SF membranes on GBR with collagen membranes (Bio-Gide®) using a rat calvarial defect model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six male Sprague Dawley ...

Regeneration of periodontal and alveolar ridge defects utilizing membranes is a well-established procedure in reconstructive surgery. Biomaterial characteristics and membrane design employed in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) techniques play an important role in good results. The purpose of this histologic experimental study in rats was to compare the use of two physical barriers in the osteop...

Guided bone regeneration, a dental surgical procedure, is used to promote growth of the alveolar hard tissue for defect with help membranes and other barrier techniques. The membrane fixation technique plays significant role in success graft. Several methods have been proposed fixation, such as use holding suture tag pin. However, there are certain disadvantages procedures cumbersome often seco...

Current surgical treatments and material applications are not ideal for the treatment of orthopedic clinical injuries, such as large bone defects, cartilage vascular tendon adhesions that occur after repair. With continuous development tissue engineering technology, hydrogels have become important medical biomaterials. Hydrogels three-dimensional hydrophilic network structures composed cross-li...

AIM This study aimed to report a well-succeeded use of equine enzyme-deantigenic cortical membrane and bone granules for guided bone regeneration (GBR) in the esthetic zone concomitant with implant placement. BACKGROUND In the anterior maxilla, where patients typically have the highest expectations for implant-supported restorations, bone resorption in the wake of tooth loss often leads to a ...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the possibility to obtain guided bone regeneration with two types of physical barriers (calcium sulfate and PTFE nonporous barrier) in surgical defects created in rat parietal bones. In the right parietal bone the calcium sulfate barrier filled out the whole defect and in the left parietal bone the barrier of PTFE was positioned in the floor and externally t...

This study introduces the effect of the thickness of a bacterial cellulose membrane by comparing the bone regeneration effect on rat skulls when using a collagen membrane and different thicknesses of resorbable bacterial cellulose membranes for guided bone regeneration. Barrier membranes of 0.10 mm, 0.15 mm, and 0.20 mm in thickness were made using bacterial cellulose produced as microbial ferm...

INTRODUCTION The use of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) techniques has been proposed as an adjunct to endodontic surgery in order to promote bone healing. Studies assessing the added benefits of GTR for the outcome of endodontic surgery are significantly variable in their treatment protocols, follow-up periods, and inclusion criteria, thus generating inconsistent and confusing results. The aim...

The present study evaluates a new synthetic degradable barrier membrane based on poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) for use in guided bone regeneration. A collagen membrane and an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) membrane served as reference materials. In 192 male Sprague-Dawley rats, a standardized 5.0mm circular defect was created in the left mandibular angle. New bone formation was...
