COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF VARIOUS TYPES OF MEMBRANES USED FOR BONE GRAFTING AND GUIDED TISSUE REGENERATION IN DENTISTRY AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY
This review aims to analyze the domestic and foreign professional literature, and it shows the main positive and negative properties of the materials for the manufacture of membranes used in modern dental practice in bone-grafting interventions and guided tissue regeneration. Emphasis is placed on the importance of developing a new individual membrane made of polytetrafluorethylene, due to high relevance of such researches owing toreduce the risk of infection of surgical wounds and high degree of adaptation to the geometry of the bone defect.
