Case series demonstrates simplified membrane fixation using healing abutments during guided bone regeneration and implant placement, indicating a streamlined alternative to conventional tag pins.
Guided bone regeneration, a dental surgical procedure, is used to promote growth of the alveolar hard tissue for bone defect with the help of membranes and other barrier techniques.The membrane fixation technique plays a significant role in the success of the bone graft.Several methods have been proposed for membrane fixation, such as the use of a holding suture and a tag pin.However, there are certain disadvantages as the procedures are cumbersome and often a secondary procedure is required.In this case report, we describe a simple method of membrane fixation using a healing abutments during guided bone regeneration, along with implant placement at the bone level.
