Osteopromotion as an Adjunct to Osseointegration

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.
