Installation of endosseous oral implants with guided tissue regeneration.
Three case reports demonstrate the principle of guided tissue regeneration for increasing alveolar bone around exposed implant threads. In all three cases there was regeneration of tissue that had a hard, firm consistency and clinically resembled normal bone. A special flap design maximized implant coverage and prevented barrier exposure during healing.
