Implant therapy to restore an edentulous site has gained more popularity in modern dentistry. Successful implant placement requires adequate alveolar ridge dimensions, which are essential to house the implant and provide esthetics and function. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a bone graft procedure that uses a covering barrier membrane to block soft tissue invasion. It helps to separate the hard tissue compartment (bone, bone marrow and bone defect) from the soft tissue compartment thereby enabling bone regeneration by space creation. It also effectively stabilizes the blood coagulum and thereby allows for faster healing to occur. This technique can be used before or at the same time as implant placement.
The basic principle of Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) involves the placement of mechanical barriers to protect blood clots and to isolate the bone defect from the surrounding connective tissue, thus providing bone-forming cells with access to a secluded space intended for bone regeneration. The use of GBR to treat bony defects around dental implants has been extensively documented throughout the past decades. The need for GBR is determined by type and size of remaining bone wall.
This webinar covers all the principles of Guided Bone Regeneration. The application of Bone graft, stabilization of collagen membrane and closure of site.
