Читать книгу Vertical 2: The Next Level of Hard and Soft Tissue Augmentation - Istvan Urban - Страница 18

This chapter examines how a dense polytetrafluoroethylene (d-PTFE) mesh was investigated in the author’s clinical practice. The primary study objectives were:

1. To evaluate the amount of bone height gain in millimeters and as a percentage of the baseline deficiency as a result of vertical bone augmentation (VBA) using a titanium-reinforced PTFE mesh (RPM) with mixed autogenous and anorganic bovine bone mineral (ABBM) particulate grafts.

2. To examine the influence of defect location, baseline deficiency extent, and membrane exposure on augmentation height.

3. To report the incidence of surgical and postsurgical complications associated with this treatment.
