The differences between pre-implantation Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) and Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) in periodontal treatment for animals

 
  A 2.5-year-old female mixed-breed dog came to our hospital for guided bone regeneration (GBR) due to an accidental collision that caused a fracture of the left mandibular incisor (302).
  According to previous studies, missing teeth will lead to the loss of alveolar bone, which will affect the stability of adjacent teeth, weakens the bone and increases the risk of fractures. In order to prevent these situations, we performed guided bone regeneration (GBR) for the patient. In the future, we will evaluate the animal dental implant surgery for the patient.
 
The difference between GBR and GTR:
●Guided bone regeneration (GBR) focuses on alveolar bone regeneration, mainly using bone graft and membrane, which are commonly used in the pre-treatment of dental implant surgery. All dental implant patients in our hospital must be evaluated for bone regeneration.
 
●Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) treats all periodontal soft and hard tissues, including alveolar bone, gingiva, periodontal ligament (PDL), cementum, etc. The surgical materials include bone graft, membrane, collagen, free gingiva graft (FGG) and connective tissue graft (CTG), etc. GTR is mainly used in the treatment of severe periodontal disease, it can regenerate periodontal tissue around natural teeth.
 
  Our hospital's original minimally invasive periodontal treatment (MIPT) is used for dogs and cats with mild periodontal disease, it will have much smaller wounds than GTR surgery, and it is easier for owners to take care of it after treatment.
