2. Guided bone and tissue regeneration (dentistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guided_bone_and_tissue...

   The GBR principle was first examined by Dahlin et al. in 1988 on rats. The selective ingrowth of bone-forming cells into a bone defect region could be improved if the adjacent tissue is kept away with a membrane; this was confirmed in a study by Kostopoulos and Karring in 1994. GBR can be used for bone regeneration on exposed implant coils . [4]

3. Dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

   Alveolar bone resorption is a common side effect of tooth removal (extraction) due to severe tooth decay, trauma, or infection that limits dental implant placement. Surgical bone augmentation is associated with limitations such as high cost, bone graft rejection or failure, pain, infection, and the addition of 6–12 months to the treatment ...

4. Bone grafting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_grafting

   Bone grafts are used in hopes that the defective bone will be healed or will regrow with little to no graft rejection. [19] Besides the main use of bone grafting – dental implants – this procedure is used to fuse joints to prevent movement, repair broken bones that have bone loss, and repair broken bone that has not yet healed. [19]

5. Gerald M. Bowers - Wikipedia

   Gerald Miles Bowers (born September 10, 1928) is an American periodontist known for research and contributions to the field of regenerative therapy in periodontics. He and his colleagues demonstrated for the first time conclusive histologic evidence that demineralized bone matrix used as a bone graft supports periodontal regeneration in humans.

6. Socket preservation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_Preservation

   Socket preservation or alveolar ridge preservation is a procedure to reduce bone loss after tooth extraction. [1] [2] After tooth extraction, the jaw bone has a natural tendency to become narrow, and lose its original shape because the bone quickly resorbs, resulting in 30–60% loss in bone volume in the first six months. [3]

   D.D.S. (Doctor of Dental Surgery) and D.M.D. (Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry or Doctor of Dental Medicine) are the same degrees. D.M.D. and D.D.S. represent the same education. The letters used are a function of university discretion, both degrees represent an identical curriculum, set of educational requirements and level of educational ...
