Clinical situations require
materials with different properties
The desired barrier function largely depends on the indication. For minor augmentation procedures, membranes with an intermediate barrier function, such as the collprotect® membrane, are a good choice.
In the case of larger horizontal bone defects, long-acting collagen membranes, such as the Jason® membrane, optimally support the osseous regeneration process.
Space-maintaining membranes, such as PTFE membranes (e.g. permamem®), provide additional stability when building up defects outside the bony framework and also offer advantages when used in conjunction with open healing.
