Abstract In this study, the effects of guided bone regeneration (GBR) on the healing of bone defects were evaluated. Resorbable membranes were placed in experimentally formed cavities in the right posterior tibia of 30 rabbits. Decalcified histological sections were evaluated using optical microscopy at 10, 20, and 30 days after GBR. Osteocondrial bone union, active bone formation and spongiosal bone formation values of the GBR group are higher than the control group. It was found that GBR technique had a positive and accelerating influence in all phases of bone healing. Citation Aslan M, Şimşek G, Dayi E.

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.
