Abstract
The invention relates generally to methods and devices for facilitation of guided tissue and bone regeneration after occurrence of a bony deficit. A mechanical barrier dimensioned to cover the deficit and means for securing the barrier in place are described. More specifically, devices and methods for use in conjunction with tooth extraction are described.
Claims15
A method to facilitate tissue guided regeneration of a bony deficit of a bone using a mechanical barrier sized to cover said deficit comprising:
- a. placing the barrier over the deficit and beneath the periosteum of the bone;
- b. shaping the barrier to the deficit;
- and
- c. securing the barrier in place by applying a member of the group consisting of a screw and a staple.
A method of tissue guided regeneration to prevent osteitis of a bony deficit after a surgical procedure resulting in a blood clot on a bone surface using a mechanical barrier dimensioned to cover the clot on the bone surface comprising:
- a. placing the barrier on the clot;
- b. positioning the barrier beneath the periosteum of the bone;
- c. shaping the barrier to the deficit;
- and
- d. securing the barrier in place.
A kit for promotion of guided healing of a bony deficit comprising:
- a. a shapable mechanical barrier dimensioned to overlay the deficit further including a cord attached to said barrier;
- b. a means for securing the barrier in place;
- and
- c. a tube dimensioned to accept the cord therethrough.
