Guided tissue regeneration. Nonabsorbable barriers.
Nonabsorbable barriers are considered the material by which all other barriers are judged. They have a well-established record of safety and efficacy. They are not a panacea, however. Practitioners must take special care when selecting both patients and surgical sites for GTR. Extensive experience, superior surgical ability, and meticulous attention to detail are also required if one is to achieve predictably favorable results.
