Purpose. Guided tissue reconstruction can be performed to restore the supporting structure of a previously lost tooth, which, in addition to maintaining beauty, preserves the function of the tooth in the patient. Materials and Methods. In this review, Scopus, PubMed, and MEDLINE databases were searched using the keywords “biocompatible materials,” “membrane,” “bone regeneration,” “tissue reconstruction,” and “dental biomaterials.” Overall, 150 articles were reviewed, and finally, 107 articles published during 2000–2021 were included in the final paper. Results. Studies have been conducted on a variety of membranes in both clinical and experimental settings. The first half of this article explores the different kinds of membranes and diverse classes of biomaterials used in these procedures. Secondly, biomaterials are examined for their therapeutic uses such as growth factors, stem cells, and gene delivery vehicles. Conclusion. If a tooth has been extracted or if the gums have been infected with periodontal disease, guided bone regeneration procedures may be used to restore the lost bone. Recent years have seen a variety of approaches to regenerating these tissues. To prevent nonossifying cells from entering, membranes are heavily employed during guided rebuilding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
