ABSTRACT:
A method of repairing defects in alveolar bone underlying gingival tissue by placing a layer of flexible high-density polytetrafluoroethlylene (PTFE) material over the alveolar bone defect between the bone and the gingival tissue surrounding the defect. The material has a smooth surface that will not incorporate cells and will not attach to fibrous adhesions. The gingival tissue is secured over the layer of material. The alveolar bone is allowed to heal under the layer of flexible high-density polytetrafluoroethlylene (PTFE) material, and the layer of flexible high-density polytetrafluoroethlylene (PTFE) material is removed with substantially no trauma to the alveolar bone and gingival tissue.
