Q

What is the use of a microporous membrane when placing an immediate implant

a. prevent epithelial downgrowth
b. augment a bony wall and assist in implant stability
c. only use it when primary closure can be obtained over the membrane

Q

A clinician may prefer a maxillary onlay bone graft with implants as opposed to bone grafts inlaid into the floor of the nose and sinuses in an edentulous patient with a markedly resorbed maxilla, because

A

D. All of the above

17
Q

Maximum tissue coverafe over barrier membranes can be achieved by

d. All of the above

A

D. All of the above

18
Q

The connective tissue graft can be used to augment defects around implants

a. in a bucco-lingual direction

e. all of the above
f. A and B

A

A and B

19
Q

Bone regeneration with use of barrier membranes

a. requires complete tissue coverage
b. may be successful in spite of exposure of the membrane
c. requires post-operative monitoring
d. All of the above

A

D. All of the above

20
Q
