Simultaneous Vertical Guided Bone Regeneration and Guided Tissue Regeneration in the Posterior Maxilla Using Recombinant Human Platelet-Derived Growth Factor: A Case Report
Journal of Oral Implantology, 10/27/09

Urban I et al. – This clinical case report describes and demonstrates successful use of recombinant human platelet–derived growth factor (rhPDGF–BB) in conjunction with autogenous bone, anorganic bone mineral, and barrier membranes to reconstruct severe alveolar bone defects. A combined sinus augmentation and vertical alveolar ridge augmentation was successfully performed.

The significance of this case report is that it demonstrates combined supracrestal GBR and GTR using rhPDGF-BB growth factor. A combined sinus augmentation and posterior maxillary vertical alveolar ridge augmentation was successfully performed. In addition a significant amount of periodontal bone gain was achieved in close apposition to a previously denuded root surface, which is significant from a periodontal standpoint given the possibility of vertical periodontal regeneration. This article describes the case selection, patient preparation, medications used, surgical and post-surgical patient care and post-operative patient follow-up.
