 BONE REGENERATIONBone is the biological material supporting the tooth in
the jaw. When this bone level is reduced, it leads to tooth
mobility and eventually the loss of the tooth. The bone
reduction may take different shapes such as irregular or
angular defects. The surgery is called Guided Tissue
Regeneration (GTR). This technique uses either a
membrane or a protein to encourage fill-in of the bone
defect with new supporting bone. Bone regeneration
results are excellent and have a good degree of
predictability. |
