Sophisticated graft materials and barrier membranes for oral surgery and dental implantology applications

Abstract

The main aim of this review article is to evaluate the data bases presenting the different kinds of graft materials and barrier membranes applications which are dating in this new era and of it result and benefits from their usage. Regarding to the need of graft materials and barrier membranes applications, it is known that bone loss and jawbone defects from different etiology are common, so their usage and features are increasingly being examined and analyzed. Significant is the fact that bone graft materials are used as a scaffolds to replace the missing bone and for new bone growth. These materials can be derived from a patient’s own body like natural substitutes or can be of a synthetic origin. On the other hand, the different barrier membranes have a role to protect and stabilize graft material and to enable better regeneration. The materials which are acceptable for grafting procedures depend from clinical case and from specific features. Advances in technology and sophisticated materials for bone grafting offer numerous solutions and different treatment options for patients with bone deficiency. The new way of solving large bone defects proved as successful in cases treated with a bone graft combined with a barrier membrane
