Guided tissue regeneration in combination with demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft using a nonresorbable membrane.

The purpose of this article is to detail the preoperative, surgical, and postoperative steps necessary for achieving successful bone regeneration using a nonresorbable membrane in conjunction with demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft implants. Each step of the surgical procedure has been clinically documented. The results from seven reentered patients having nine intrabony defects are presented and discussed.
