The use of expanded polytetrafluorethylene membranes to attain bone regeneration around dental implants is described. Membranes discourage "non-desirable" cells form colonizing the healing site. These cells are essentially derived from gingival epithelium and gingival connective tissue. It is suggested that this procedure could be employed directly after tooth extraction.
CT-Scan provide a powerful diagnostic tool in the presurgical evaluation for endosseous implants. This article overviews a computer assisted system combined with a "marked radiographic stent" and a "surgical stent". The technique evaluates the ideal number, location and direction of the implants for a successful treatment.
The gingival marginal region, in which the inflammatory processes of parodontal disease commence, needs to be protected by a sufficient height and thickness of attached gum. Surgical procedures for these lesions must, therefore, involve the attached gum. A variety of muco-gingival procedures have recently replaced the classical vestibular deepening operation which was always followed by a relapse.
Parodontal surgery is a dynamic entity, which has evolved in a continuous manner since the beginning of the century, because of the increasing interest in parodontology itself, the growing importance of surgical treatment for parodontal diseases, and improved knowledge of biological processes involved in cicatrization. A new classification is suggested which should allow a more specific selection of indications for surgical treatment and thus to obtain a stable and long-lasting result.
