Guided bone regeneration using an absorbable membrane combined with a one-stage implant into a recent extraction site: a case report.
Guided bone regeneration using an absorbable membrane combined with one-stage implants was used to treat a 45-year-old woman. Two months following tooth extraction, two implants were placed--one in the extraction site and one in a healed site. An absorbable membrane was applied to cover the bony defect in this recent extraction site. After a 24-month follow-up, probing depths were normal, increased radiopacity was seen in the extraction site, and the implant was still clinically stable.
