T
he use of grafting materials in implant detistry is widespread.
Membrane use in guided bone regeneration is often
considered to be a fundamental requirement to stop soft tissue
ingrowth and stabilise the graft material. Whilst this holds true for
many materials, the development of fully synthetic (alloplastic)
materials has obviated the need to usemembranes inmost cases.
Grafts containg beta tricalcium phosphate and calcium sulphate
offer a stable, setting, cell occlusive medium in which host bone
candevelop.Thedirect appositionof periostiumto thegraftmeans
that there is no barrier to the periostial blood supply in healing.
Specific protocols have been deveoloped around the unique
properties of these matierals. Author has used these materials
exclusively for over 10 years and in hundreds of procedures and
will share the applications, from single tooth placement to more
complex including sinus augmentation including recent research.
He has found that utilisation of alloplastic materials that are
highly biocompatable can reduce post operative pain and shorten
treatment times.
