| Abstract | |
| Guided bone regeneration is one of the most effective methods to induce osseous regeneration. We assessed the clinical and histopathological
features of guided bone regeneration using nonabsorbable membrane in the wound resulting from human tooth extraction. Forty days after the tooth extraction and
wound repair, the wound was in the late granulation tissue stage with newly formed trabecular bone where an implant could be placed. Conclusively, it was revealed
that polytetrafluoroethylene membrane could be applied for the repair of a wound resulting from tooth extraction with reduced height and width of bone.
Keywords: guided bone regeneration, polytetra alveolar fluoroethylene membrane, PTFE. |
