This case study investigated the clinical effect of guided bone regeneration(GBR) using $Regenaform^{(R)}\;and\;Ossix^{(R)}$ membrane and the histology of the new bone that formed just under the membranes. $Regenaform^{(R)}$ transplantation and covering with $Ossix^{(R)}$ membrane were performed to repair bone defects around implants after implantation in three patients. After $3{\sim}4$ months, the membranes were removed in a second operation, and a biopsy was taken under the membrane. The biopsies showed a bone density of $23{\sim}42%$, and subsequent prosthetic treatments were successful in all cases.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the superficial bony healing after guided bony regeneration using a various bone grafts. Four types of bone grafts were performed by one oral and maxillofacial surgeon to restore the defects around endosseous implants. Group I included the allografts using $Regenaform^{(R)}$. Group 2 included the autograft. Group 3 included the combined grafts using with autogenous symphysis bone and xenograft($BioOss^{(R)}$). Group 4 included the xenograft($BioOss^{(R)}$). After some heling period, superficial bone biopsy was performed with the surgical blade(#15) during the second surgery. Histologic and histomorphmetric examination were carried out by one pathologist. There was the most new bone formation in the group 3, next group 2. However, there were no statistically significant differences. All group except for group 4 showed favorable bone formation and remodeling.
