Regeneração óssea guiada com uso de membranas

Abstract

The installation of osseointegrated implants has been frequent when the purpose is a promising oral rehabilitation, however when there is no adequate bone height for the implant to be intact and maintained, it is necessary to apply techniques to restore the lost bone. Faced with this problem, guided bone regeneration (GBR) using membranes has been an effective technique and has been researched in recent years. GBR basically consists of the segregation of the alveolus, through membranes, preventing external agents from interfering in the osteogenesis process, where only the blood clot rich in growth factors is in charge of initiating the bone matrix formation process. The membranes used in this technique can be resorbable or non-resorbable, both of which have an effect on clot retention in the area to be regenerated. Therefore, according to the treatment objectives, that is, the amount of bone that requires regeneration and the location of the bone defect, the correct choice of materials used must be meticulous to maximize results and minimize the risk of complications.
