Socket Preservation By Means Of GBR Using "SANDWICH TECHNIQUE".

      Аннотация: In order to preserve the gift of nature, man is presently trying to be positively constructive and conservative, and thus from forest to fuel, all forms of energy are being judiciously utilized. With today’s esthetic conscious population, the days of simply extracting a tooth and replacing it later is unacceptable to many patients. Tooth extraction is one of the most widely performed procedures in dentistry today and it has been historically well documented that this procedure may induce significant dimensional changes of the alveolar ridge. The dilemma that clinicians face is how to manage tooth extractions to provide for the future placement of a dental implant or to maximize ridge dimensions for the fabrication of a fixed or removable prosthesis. In this study, the extraction socket was sealed off against the invasion of fibrous connectivet issue elements using a collagen membrane, to stimulate bone formation into the socket by osteogenic cells. The ultimate goal of GBR is to use a temporary device to provide the necessary environment that allows the body to potentiate its natural healing potential and regenerate lost and absent bone.
