30 Years of Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR), 3rd Version - Interactive Educational Software

Description

This volume consists of 14 chapters that describe the scientific basis and applications of guided bone regeneration in implant dentistry. Dentistry specialists from Brazil, Europe, Australia, and the US cover the development and fine-tuning phase of the technique; the biologic basis of bone regeneration and a scientific update on bone formation and remodeling; and clinical procedures associated with different indications of the guided bone regeneration technique, with indications, criteria for patient selection, the steps of the surgical procedure, and postoperative treatment. The resource emphasizes incision technique and flap design; the selection, handling, and placement of barrier membranes; the combination of membranes with autogenous bone grafts and low-substitution bone fillers; and aspects of wound closure. This edition has new chapters on the molecular and cellular characteristics of autogenous bone chips and how they release various growth factors when put in a mixture of blood and physiologic and sterile saline, the hard and soft tissue alterations following tooth extraction, and the surgical and anatomical factors influencing the regenerative outcome of guided bone regeneration procedures.
