Osteopromotion to enhance the formation of bone approximating implant surfaces can be obtained using bone regeneration techniques with polytetrafluoroethylene membranes. Treatment of dehiscences and other deficiencies of bone volume allows implants to be successfully placed in regions previously thought to be unsuitable. Bone regeneration is possible in peri-implant osteitis defects if appropriate surgical techniques are used.

D016459 Prosthesis-Related Infections Infections resulting from the implantation of prosthetic devices. The infections may be acquired from intraoperative contamination (early) or hematogenously acquired from other sites (late).

D016557 Guided Tissue Regeneration, Periodontal Techniques for enhancing and directing cell growth to repopulate specific parts of the PERIODONTIUM that have been damaged by PERIODONTAL DISEASES; TOOTH DISEASES; or TRAUMA, or to correct TOOTH ABNORMALITIES. Repopulation and repair is achieved by guiding the progenitor cells to reproduce in the desired location by blocking contact with surrounding tissue by use of membranes composed of synthetic or natural material that may include growth inducing factors as well.
