Influence of wound closure on the volume stability of particulate and non‐particulate GBR materials: an in vitro cone‐beam computed tomographic examination. Part II

Abstract

The addition of an L-shaped soft-block bone substitute to a particulate xenograft, covered by a collagen membrane and fixed with pins, significantly improved the horizontal volume stability of the augmented region during wound closure.

Volumetric and linear changes at dental implants following grafting with volume-stable three-dimensional collagen matrices or autogenous connective tissue grafts: 6-month data

“…Due to the surgical intervention, the ridge contour increased -highest at SCTG sites, slightly less at VCMX sites and even at sham-operated sites. It has been reported previously that by raising a flap, applying periosteal releasing incision and subsequent wound closure, the underlying tissue architecture changes at least in vitro [24,25]. This was clearly demonstrated at sham-operated sites in the present study.…”

Leucocyte‐ and platelet‐rich fibrin block for bone augmentation procedure: A proof‐of‐concept study

“…To overcome this problem, a rigid fixation of the membrane on both the vestibular and palatal/lingual side to immobilize the graft was proposed (Urban et al., ). The stability of the graft is also enhanced when using bone blocks instead of particulated grafts (Mir‐Mari, Benic, Valmaseda‐Castellón, Hämmerle, & Jung, ).…”

Guided bone regeneration with particulate vs. block xenogenic bone substitutes: a pilot cone beam computed tomographic investigation

“…; Mir‐Mari et al. ,b). In a recent in vitro study, the volume stability of particulate and block DBBM in combination with CM for GBR of peri‐implant defects was investigated by means of CBCT (Mir‐Mari et al.…”
