| 摘要 |
<p>This invention is a method and apparatus for growing jaw bone (3) in an isolated and protected space (13) free from tissue impingement, occlusal loading, chewing forces or muscular pressure between the periosteum and the jaw bone (3). The space (13) is created by first placing either a dental implant (17) or a tenting-type support screw (11) into the jaw bone. A guided tissue regeneration plate (12), preferably made of titanium, is either snapped onto the head of the support screw (11) or held in place by a specialized and modified healing screw (19) of a dental implant (17). The plate (12) is then bent and molded into the proper shape. The pliable, moldable plate (12) is supported by the dental implant (17) or support screw (11) giving a precise space (13) below its surface to grow bone. The plate (12) can be solid or perforated, porous or nonporous.</p> |
