Use of nonresorbable PTFE membranes in preservation of the alveolar ridge
One of the most frequently performed interventions in current oral surgical practice is the extraction of teeth. After the extraction, a biological remodeling phase
of the alveolar ridge follows, resulting in resorption of the alveolar ridge both vertically and horizontally. To a large extent, this has the effect of installing a dental implant at this point. In order to maintain the width and height of the alveolar ridge, a large number of operative techniques for preserving the extraction
wound are used. In our article, a preservation technique will be presented using
the non-resorptive dPTFE membrane, which allows open healing of the extraction
wound, and xenograft will be used as a substituted material. Also, the application
procedures and fixation of these dPTFE membranes will be explained in detail, and
the results of this technical procedure will be presente
