Use of a Sugar-Crosslinked Collagen Membrane in Conjunction With a Dehydrated Amnion/Chorion Membrane for Guided Bone Regeneration Around Immediate Implants.

Several bioabsorbable membranes have been proposed to exclude soft-tissue ingrowth and to stabilize the bone graft when guided bone regeneration (GBR) is performed. The properties of the various membranes differ slightly due to variances in composition and manufacturing processes affecting their handling and suitability for specific techniques. The aim of this article is to present a technique to perform GBR with the use of a sugar-crosslinked absorbable collagen membrane in conjunction with a dehydrated amnion/chorion membrane (dHACM).
