Every day have been increased the number of patients in the dental office looking for oral reabilitações, many of them being a challenge to the dentist surgeon. Currently, implants are installed on guided bone regeneration, the use of membranes, titanium threads and bone substitutes are key parts for correcting bone defects and to support the implant. Thereunto, the aim of this study was the description of a case addressing the methods and materials used for guided bone regeneration with the use of L-PRF for vertical bone gain. The patient showed the absence of the elements 22, 23 and 24, and a bony defect arc in this region. The installation of the implants, followed by guided bone regeneration support with a titanium mesh was indicated. The use of guided bone regeneration technique involving the mesh titanium implants, bone and lyophilized bovine L-PRF membrane showed a viable technique, the succeeding vertical bone gain until the implant platform.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was (1) to test whether or not the application of an in situ formed synthetic hydrogel, made of polyethylene glycol (PEG) used as a resorbable membrane for guided bone regeneration, will result in more amount of bone regeneration compared with an uncovered defect and (2) to evaluate if it can prevent the soft-tissue ingrowth into alveolar defects. Materials and Methods: Two critical size defects were created in seven Wistar rats. In the right side, an in situ formed hydrogel PEG membrane (Straumann MembraGel) was applied into the defect and the left one was kept empty as a control. After 60 days, animals were sacrificed and the calvarial bone was removed. The area of newly formed bone was determined by histomorphometrical analysis. For statistical analysis, the Mann-Whitney-U test was applied to model the amount of new bone formation. Results: The quantitative histomorphometric analysis obtained a percentage of newly formed bone for the test defects of 61,8% +/-22,2% and 53,8% +/-22,9% in the control group. The observed differences were not statistically significant. Conclusions The experimental PEG membrane was biocompatible and prevented soft-tissue ingrowth. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups.

Membrane fixation in guided bone regeneration (GBR) has been traditionally achieved using resorbable pins, titanium tacks or miniscrews. However, these techniques are marredwith a number of clinical challenges. This article presents the “SauFRa” technique, a novel technique for stabilization of resorbable membranes in both, single as well as multiple implant sites while avoiding the shortcomings of other suturing techniques described in literature. Furthermore, the technique also eliminates the possibility of complications observed when using resorbable pins, titanium tacks or miniscrews, such as damage to adjacent roots during insertion. The authors’ employed this technique in 89 patients (51 male and 35 female) and found no complications like tissue dehiscence, infection or graft migration.
