The effect of guided tissue regeneration on the healing of osseous defects in rat calvaria.
The effect of guided tissue regeneration procedures on the healing of osseous defects was studied in Sprague-Dawley rats. A full thickness flap was reflected and two 5 mm defects were made in the calvaria of 17 rats. A resorbable membrane was placed over one defect in each animal, while the remaining defect served as a control. After 3, 5, or 7 wk, healing of the osseous defects was evaluated histologically. There was no statistical difference in bone regeneration between experimental and control sites at any time period.
