However, the removal of fixation screws or pins often requires an additional surgical procedure. This article presents a periosteal suturing technique with resorbable sutures for the fixation of grafts and membranes in GBR in single implant sites. This technique avoids potential complications of using fixation screws or pins, such as perforation of the roots when inserting the pins, and eliminates the need for a second retrieval surgery.
