  2. Guided bone and tissue regeneration (dentistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guided_bone_and_tissue...

    The GBR principle was first examined by Dahlin et al. in 1988 on rats. The selective ingrowth of bone-forming cells into a bone defect region could be improved if the adjacent tissue is kept away with a membrane; this was confirmed in a study by Kostopoulos and Karring in 1994. GBR can be used for bone regeneration on exposed implant coils . [4]

  3. Bone grafting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_grafting

    Bone grafts are used in hopes that the defective bone will be healed or will regrow with little to no graft rejection. [19] Besides the main use of bone graftingdental implants – this procedure is used to fuse joints to prevent movement, repair broken bones that have bone loss, and repair broken bone that has not yet healed. [19]

  4. Socket preservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_Preservation

    Socket preservation or alveolar ridge preservation is a procedure to reduce bone loss after tooth extraction. [1] [2] After tooth extraction, the jaw bone has a natural tendency to become narrow, and lose its original shape because the bone quickly resorbs, resulting in 30–60% loss in bone volume in the first six months. [3]

  5. IPG-DET technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPG-DET_technique

    IPG-DET technique is a surgical procedure that interfaces with the upper posterior jaw to support dental implants and a future dental prosthesis. [1] [2]The basis of this innovative technique is a biological process called osseointegration where materials, such as titanium, form an intimate bond to bone.

  6. Zygoma implant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygoma_Implant

    Bone grafting procedures in the jaws have the disadvantage of prolonged treatment time, restriction of denture wear, morbidity of the donor surgical site and graft rejection. [ 4 ] Zygoma implants were first introduced in late 1990s by Dr. Per Ingvar Brånemark , widely acknowledged as the "Father of Dental Implantology".

  7. Alveolar cleft grafting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_cleft_grafting

    In cleft palate patients bone grafting during the mixed dentition has been widely accepted since the mid-1960s. The goals of surgery are to stabilize the maxilla, facilitate the healthy eruption of teeth that are adjacent the cleft, improving the esthetics of the base of the nose, create a bone base for dental implants, and to close any oro-nasal fistulas.

  8. Barrier membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrier_membrane

    The first membranes developed were nonresorbable and required a second surgery for membrane removal some weeks later. The need for a second surgical procedure hindered the utilization of the original barrier membranes, which led to the development of resorbable membranes; [1] research indicates no statistically significant difference in surgical success between the two types.
