Cytoplast PTFE Membrane Exposed after Augmentation of Mandibular Alveolar Ridge: What Should I Do?
Last Updated: Oct 30, 2011
Dr. M asks:
I have a 30-year old female patient with no medical complications that presented with missing #26-24 [mandibular right lateral and central incisors and mandibular left central and lateral incisors; 42,41,31,32].
The patient had been treatment planned for a bone graft to augment the thin and short mandibular alveolar ridge followed by a healing phase and then installation of implants. I used an autogenous bone mixed with freeze dried bone allograft and covered with a Cytoplast non-resorbable high density PTFE membrane. The patient returned at 3 weeks post-operative and presented with the membrane exposed. What do you recommend I do at this point?
