Best Membrane to Use when Grafting with Mineralized FDBA?

This topic is too broad for one string. There are so many good CE classes out there. Take some!!! This is not rocket science, but you need to learn by good teachers.

Dr. B. You are asking us to write a book :-). If you are well experienced in Implant dentistry - Check out BioXclude - That may help you with intact walls after extraction. Try PTFE sutures (non resorbable). In short- nonresorbable sutures last long and can be used when you need them for a while. Q-where I would not have to use a membrane to cover the graft? Ans: Mostly cases where periosteum will act as a membrane. This will all depend on the case. The rest of the answer please read Dr. SBoral's comment :-)

What's wrong with all the doctors being acrimonious to each other???anyway, when u have intact walls just use an inexpensive collagen plug from ace. When u miss a wall try the sclar technique with any slowly resorbable collagen membrane that is soft and never those hard ones. Now for using graft without barrier please swift from allograft to a putty graft such as novabone putty which contains phosphosilicate. It is really superior from dfdba and a million times faster in giving new bone growth than fdba. Hope I helped. PS Dr Narkhede do u have any literature that will show that periosteum can act as a barrier for a particle graft? Tarnow says that when the periosteum is lifted from the bone it loses its bone forming capacity

This is my receipt for membranes; For socket preservation (intact walls): Graft + Osteogenics txt-200 (Non resorbable d-Ptfe ideal for open healing) For dehisens and fenestration around implants: Graft + Resorbable collagen membrane (Bio-gide or Mem-Lok) Multiple extraction walls missing: Graft + more rigid and long lasting membrane (mem-Lok) Really need to thicken hard tissue: Titanium reinforced non-resorbale membranes
