EFFICACY OF GBR USING COMPOSITE BONE GRAFT AND RESORBABLE COLLAGEN MEMBRANE IN SEIBERT'S CLASS I RIDGE DEFECTS- RADIOLOGICAL EVALUATION.

Abstract

Abstract The purpose of the study was to radiologically evaluate the efficacy of Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) using Composite Bone Graft (Autogenous Bone graft & Anorganic Bovine Bone graft (Bio-Oss)) along with Resorbable Collagen Membrane (BioMend Extend) in the augmentation of Seibert's class I ridge defects in maxilla. Bone width was evaluated using computed tomography at 0 day and at 180th day at 2mm, 4mm, and 6mm from the crest.There was a statistically significant increase in bone width between 0 day and 180th day at 2mm, 4mm and 6mm from the crest. The results of the study demonstrated an increase in bone width of Seibert's class I ridge defects in maxilla in the study patients.
