Dental implants are the best choice to replace missing teeth. However, to place an implant suffi cient bone around the implant is needed. Sometimes, the height or the thickness of the natural bone where an implant should be placed is not suffi cient. For such cases bone grafting is recommended. In order to succeed bone grafting, it is necessary to achieve a good stability of the graft, enough vascularisation, and a tension free closure of the fl ap. The use of screwed bone block may solve the stability problem. However, it is hard to shape it, time consuming and it oblige the surgeon to open a second site to harvest the bone. Till today it is recommended to use particles in grafting for small bone defects, because the particles are not stable and it is hard to keep it in place under the chewing forces and movements. The Mineralized Plasmatic Matrix solves this problem, and opens a new age for the use of particles grafting, because by using the fi brin network, it gathers all the particles and off ers a very good stability for the graft.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
