Guided bone regeneration in dental practice
Keywords:
guided bone regeneration, guided tissue regeneration, ridge augmentation, membranes.Abstract
Introduction: guided bone regeneration is based on the concept of using a membrane to stabilize the blood clot and create a space in which cells from bone tissue may grow without the interference of the quick proliferation of soft tissue cells.
Objective: carry out a bibliographic review about the presence of guided bone regeneration in dental journals.
Methods: a bibliographic review was performed from July to August 2014. The evaluation included high impact journals from the Web of Sciences (25 journals) and 1 Cuban journal. The databases MEDLINE, PubMed and SciELO were consulted, using the search terms “guided bone regeneration”, “guided tissue regeneration”, “regenerative medicine dentistry”, “ridge augmentation”, “barrier membranes” and their Spanish counterparts. The review included papers in English and Spanish, and publications from the last five years. Of the 122 papers obtained, the reviewers selected the 51 which approached the study topics in a more comprehensive manner.
Data analysis and integration: within this topic, it is fundamental to approach the general principles of guided bone regeneration, the role of membranes, applications and complications derived from their clinical use.
Conclusions: guided bone regeneration is a frequent topic in dental journals. It refers to a tissue regeneration strategy aimed at bone restoration. The study and development of barrier membranes has broadened the scope of this field, allowing its use either by itself or in combination with other materials and scaffolds. Periodontal regeneration, implants and transplants are among the procedures used in dental practice. A description is provided of complications such as membrane exposure, infection and necrosis.
