Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) method is a new remarkable technique for getting new bone induction in bone defects around implants. We have experienced the case of a 16-year-old male patient who had treatment of titanium endosseous dental implant around upper left lateral incisor and also GTR method with a screw technique for obtaining sufficient bone volume for labial bone defects. GTR method would be successful and useful in this case.
We examined the Gore-Tex® membrane, which was removed one month after implantation because of infection, by using scanning electron microscopy, immunohistochemical observation of glycosaminoglycan, type I and III collagens, fibronectin and laminin staining and electron probe X-ray micro analysis.
It is concluded that Gore-Tex® membrane would be useful material to obtain osteogenesis for bone defects.
