Titanium barriers have been used for guided bone regeneration in preclinical and preliminary clinical reports as a possible alternative to bone grafting. In two cases with lateral bone defects, rigid titanium barriers were used to provide a secluded space in conjunction with bone substitutes. Sufficient lateral bone volume was generated for implant placement, and no complications were observed during 2 years of follow up. In conclusion, space-making stiff titanium barriers may be applied successfully for lateral alveolar crest augmentation.
在临床前和初步临床报告中,钛屏障已被用作引导骨再生的一种可能替代骨移植的方法。在两例存在侧方骨缺损的病例中,使用刚性钛屏障与骨替代物联合以提供一个隔离空间。生成了足够的侧方骨量用于种植体植入,并且在2年的随访期间未观察到并发症。总之,制造空间的刚性钛屏障可成功应用于侧方牙槽嵴增高术。
