ABSTRACT:
A dental appliance consisting of a biocompatible, non-absorbable retrievable membrane material may be used as a separation and isolation barrier following periodontal surgery to promote tissue regeneration. The appliance is configured with a cord woven into the inferior aspect of the membrane and extends up from the apical border of the membrane through a loop in the superior border. The free end of the cord extends through the gingival sulcus and remains exposed while the membrane is in place. At the appropriate time for membrane removal, the sutures holding the membrane in place are released and the membrane removal cord is use to lift the membrane through the sulcus by gently pulling on the cord. The non-surgical removal of the membrane using this method reduces further surgical trauma to the patient and eliminates the risk that surgical removal of the membrane could damage the newly regenerated tissue.
