Abstract

Guided bone regeneration has been successfully used to treat several types of bone defects. Problems associated with the procedure, such as premature exposure of the membranes to the oral cavity and, consequently, contamination, may occur. The acellular dermal matrix graft material is presently used to treat several soft tissue problems. It could be used for guided bone regeneration with the advantage of forming soft tissue while acting as a barrier membrane. A patient in need of guided bone regeneration for the staged placement of an implant was treated by using the acellular dermal matrix graft material as a barrier membrane. Healing progressed uneventfully with the formation of adequate new bone and an increase in the width of keratinized tissue.
