Surgical Protocol for Guided Tissue/Bone Regeneration System IMTEC Corporation features a Guided Tissue/Bone Regeneration System that Includes. • A simplified technique to harvest bone fill material • An advanced physical barrier membrane • A final mechanical stabilizer Professional applications of this advanced technique as related to oral cavities include repair as well as lateral and vertical bone mass enhancement.
Surgical Protocol for Guided Tissue/Bone Regeneration System
STEP ONE The prosthesis is removed and a full thickness flap reflected to allow adequate access to the tissue defect. Reattach the Phase I Healing Abutment.
STEP TWO Remove all granulated tissue. (Care must be taken not to damage the implant surface.)
STEP THREE The bone fill material is placed into the defect site and contoured to approximate ideal anatomy.
STEP FOUR The chosen membrane is trimmed to the desired shape and adapted into position.
STEP FIVE The membrane and bone fill material are stabilized in position using a bone tack.
STEP SIX The flap is rejoined with a standard suture procedure. Primary closure is recommended. If a non-resorbable membrane is used then the membrane should be removed before placement of the final prosthesis.
