GUIDED BONE REGENERATION WITH BIOMATERIAL USE AND REABORESORVABLE MEMBRANE: A CASE REPORT

Introduction: Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is a surgical procedure that uses graft materials and membranes as a barrier to stimulate a new bone formation over defects. Case Report: The patient A.D.C, leucoderma, 54 years old, attended the dental clinic of the Faculty of S?o Francisco de Assis (ESFA). A clinical examination was performed and erythematous areas were seen at the gingival border and the papillae. Thus, intraoral radiographs were realized to obtain more information and, after that, the presence of periodontal disease with furcation assessment and a root fracture was observed. Discussion: The clinical case described was carried out following the principles of resorbable barriers with a hydroxyapatite material, it was kept in position to retain the clot and the appropriate dimensions of the alveolar bone associated with the biomaterial. Conclusion: The use of resorbable membranes is efficient in the process of guided bone regeneration, acting as a barrier to the invagination of the soft tissues existing in the bone defects areas.
