Abstract :
We report the case of a girl aged 10 years whose alveolar bony defect was closed with a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane, which was incorporated in bone after 4 months. We suggest that the principle of guided bone regeneration can be used to repair cleft defects provided that the mucoperiosteal flaps are handled carefully and that good anti-infective measures are taken to prevent early exposure and microbial contamination of the membrane barrier.
