Abstract
Purpose: To provide an overview of an innovative surgical approach to guided bone regeneration, the Pack Into Bone (PIB) technique.
Methods: Twenty subjects, eight men and 12 women, aged 34 to 68 (mean 51.5) were selected. They were treated with the PiB technique, and upon re-entry surgery, performed 8 months postoperatively, implants were placed, and bone samples were collected by using trephine burs for histological and histomorphometric analysis purposes.
Results: Mean ridge width varied between 4.71 (W0) mm and 7.37 mm (W1), measured 8 months postoperatively, with a mean W augmentation of 2.69 mm ± 0.19. Mean height ranged between 8.0 mm (H0) and 11.15 mm (H1), measured 8 months after surgery with a mean augmentation of 3.53 mm ± 0.14 (P< 0.05).
Clinical significance: Stability and versatility are the pillars of the PIB technique compared to common GBRs. The PIB technique is effective and reduces the difficulty in stabilizing the graft, is more feasible for operators, and decreases morbidity for the subjects.
