Samyang's Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) barrier BioMesh is one of the few devices available in the
world that help restore the periodontal attachment of the tooth to the alveolar bone after
reconstructive
gum surgery to remove the periodontal plaques and can be used for Inplant surgery.
Periodontal diseases, also know as gum diseases, are some of the most common infections that human
being suffer from.
In fact, more than 75% of adults over age 35 have some form of periodontal diseases.
The word "Periodontal" literally means "around the tooth". If left untreated periodontal diseases can
result in bad breath; red swollen, and bleeding gums; and eventually tooth loss.
These Periodontal diseases are bacterial gum infections that destroy the attachment fibers
and supporting bone that hold teeth in mouth. The bacterial plaque - a sticky colorless film
that constantly forms on teeth can turn into a hard substance called calculus.
If calculus develops below the gums onto the tooth root then its removal by conventional
dental care becomes difficult.
Toxins produced by the bacteria in the plaque irritate the gum, causing infection. These toxins also can
destroy the supporting tissues around the teeth, including the bone. When it happens, gums separate
from the teeth, forming pockets that fill with even more plaques and more infection. As the disease
progress,
these pockets deepen, more gum tissue and bone are destroyed, and teeth eventually
become loose.
If periodontal diseases are not treated, the teeth may fall out or need to be removed. |

| What is the BioMesh/BioMesh-S GTR barrier? |
|
GTR barriers are needed in severe cases of periodontal diseases where
patients are at a risk of permanent loss of tooth due to the removal of the
abscess or the infected connective tissues and alveolar bone during
reconstructive surgery. |
|
| What is BioMesh/BioMesh-S GTR barrier made of? |
|
- PolyglycolicAcid (PGA).
- Polylactic Acid (PLA).
- Polyglycolic/lactic Acid (PGLA) |
|
|
 |
|
| What is the function of BioMesh/BioMesh-S GTR barrier? |
- Excludes epithelial tissue form the wound site.
- Maintains space between alveolar bone and connective tissue.
- Promotes the bone and ligaments cells to grow and re-anchor the teeth.
- used for Inplant surgery. |
|
| What are physical properties of BioMesh/BioMesh-S GTR barrier? |
 Good biocompatibility...
- No plasticizer included.
- Low inflammation.
- Free from immunogenic response. |
|
Rapid tissue incorporation...
- Microporous structure.
- Prevents infection or epithelial migration. |
|
Good cell-occlusiveness...
- Inhibits migration of undesired cells into the eroded sites.
- Permits exchange of nutritional elements. |
|
Creates needed space...
- Inhibits migration of undesired cells into the eroded sites
- Permits exchange of nutritional elements. |
|
In-vivo Biodegradability...
• Biomesh
- Maintains interstitial integrity for 6 to 8 weeks.
- Completely degrades in 6 months.
• Biomesh-S
- Maintains interstitial integrity for 10 to 12 weeks.
- Completely degrades in 9 months. |
|
Conventional GTR implants require a second surgery for removal after the tooth has gained a good
anchor. Samyang BioMesh/Biomesh-S are bioabsorbable and does not require removal by a surgical
process as it
completely degrades, in-vivo, in six months/nine months after implantation.
BioMesh/Biomesh-S does not only provide an effective tool to maintain high level of dental integrity but, compared
to the conventional implants, entirely avoid the need to conduct a second surgery for removal.
BioMesh/Biomesh-S provide significant therapeutic and economical advantage over the conventional GTR
implants.
