Rubber dam as a barrier membrane in the treatment of periodontal osseous defect

Abstract

Rubber dam as barrier membrane yields good results.

Impact of smoking on guided tissue regeneration using a biocomposite poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid/sub-micron size hydroxyapatite with a rubber dam as an alternative barrier

“…For PD reduction and other bone parameters, smoking became the most important factor affecting the periodontal healing response. Our findings are in line with considerable literature, 6,27 highlighting the negative effects of smoking on bone metabolism. Some studies also found that cigarette smoking was associated with a reduced healing response after GTR treatment.…”

“…29,30 After correcting for the oral hygiene level and the depth of the intrabony component, smoking was a significant factor for the clinical outcome. 6 It has been demonstrated that smoking impairs the healing outcome of GTR treatment of intrabony defects with bioresorbable membranes 12 months after surgery, 31 even if, conversely, it did not seem to influence the clinical outcomes achieved from 1 to 6-7 years from treatment. 32 Harris et al found no difference in terms of CAL gain and the PD reduction in smokers versus nonsmokers treated with enamel matrix protein, demineralized freeze dried bone allograft, and collagen membrane.…”

“…Recently, Nagarale et al confirmed that using a rubber dam as a barrier yields good results in clinical implications. 6 Stavropoulos et al in 2004 7 documented the negative influence of smoking on regenerative…”

Green and Non‐Conventional Materials for Membrane Synthesis: A Review

“…[45] The rubber membrane is also used in the treatment of the periodontal osseous defect. [46] The treatment is based on the guided tissue regeneration for which a membrane is utilized to create a barrier between the root surface and surgical flap. It prevents the movement of cells from gingival connective tissue and of epithelial cells onto the root surface of teeth, providing space for regeneration and stopping blood clots from mechanical stress.…”

“…The use of various non-absorbable membranes, like millipore filters, rubber dam, polytetrafluoroethylene membrane (PTFE) and bioabsorbable membranes like collagen membranes, polylactic acid and polyglycolic acid membranes have been advocated for guided tissue regeneration. 9 Recently, allograft alternatives to autogenous tissue grafts have been proposed in the form of dermis tissue products. 10 An allograft derived from human amnion tissue is an alternative option.…”
