Bioresorbable dome barrier bone graft Dome barrier bone grafting technique is a guided bone regeneration tenting procedure. It uses slow resorbing pieces of suture material and a membrane to tent the soft tissue and allow the bone to form under. The dental code for the dome barrier grafting is the same as GBR, which is […]
This PA was close to worthless as far as diagnostics goes The low does CBCT scan we have in our office leaves no doubt as to what is going on. Besides being a great diagnostic tool, it also informed us we would have to mange this area carefully to allow for a dental implant to […]

This is a revolutionary new method of grafting and I am not sure of who in US is using. It basically consists of building a resorbable wall or box, placing bone graft and pericardium membrane, and suturing closed. It uses poly D,L-lactide acid (PDLLA) mesh plates by KLS Martin Tuttlingen, Germany and PDLLA pins with […]
