Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is a well-established procedure for the regeneration of alveolar bone defects. In case highly complex defect situations, however, inconsistent treatment results are often achieved. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fulfills several relevant preliminary success criteria improved regenerative outcomes in defects: HA supports creation toxin-free wound area, improves space stabili...

This study evaluated, by clinical analysis, the hard tissue response following treatment of ligature-induced peri-implantitis defects in 5 dogs. The mandibular premolars were removed from both sides of the jaw. After 3 months of healing, two titanium implants were placed on each side of the mandible. Following abutment connection, 3 months later, experimental peri-implantitis was induced by the...

In this study, the effects of guided bone regeneration (GBR) on the healing of bone defects were evaluated. Resorbable membranes were placed in experimentally formed cavities in the right posterior tibia of 30 rabbits. Decalcified histological sections were evaluated using optical microscopy at 10, 20, and 30 days after GBR. Osteocondrial bone union, active bone formation and spongiosal bone fo...
