Guided Bone Regeneration Technique in the Esthetic Zone: A Novel Approach Using Resorbable PLLA-PGA Plates and Screw Fixation. A Case Report
The International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative Dentistry, 09/08/09
Fabbri G et al. – The use of biodegradable fixation materials or devices during maxillofacial, craniofacial, and orthopedic reconstructive surgical procedures reduces or eliminates the need to perform a second surgical procedure, which would otherwise be required to remove a nonbiodegradable device. This article presents a novel approach to augment a horizontally deficient alveolar ridge using both a resorbable plate/screw fixation system composed of a polylactic acid–polyglycolic acid (PLLA–PGA) copolymer to provide a rigid scaffolding for the bone chips and a resorbable collagen barrier (Bio–Gide, Osteohealth) to secure the graft material.
