Frequency and reasons for the use of autologous bone in combination with resorbable membranes in maxillofacial and dental surgery at the present time: analytical literature review

The frequency and reasons for the use of autologous bone in combination with resorbable membranes in maxillofacial and dental surgery at the present time were analyzed, the basic fundamental and practical tasks for their use were determined and the ways to solve them were identified. For the analysis we performed the following queries in the search engine “PubMed”: 1) autograft, maxillofacial surgery, jawbone defect; 2) bioresorbable membrane, maxillofacial surgery, jawbone defect. 1090 sources were retrieved, 417 of them for the first query and 673 for the second onYe. The first 100 consecutive sources for both the first and second queries were analyzed. There are 2.5 times as many studies on dental implantation and the use of resorbable membranes as on the use of autologous bone in this situation. 1.9 times as much research is dedicated to the use of autografts in orthognathic interventions. The analysis of studies containing data on the frequency of autograft use in combination with resorbable membranes in maxillofacial surgery and dental surgery at the present moment proves that research containing information on small defects is 1.4 times more prevalent, with bioresorbable membranes being used 1.5 more frequently for their reconstruction. The analysis of literature sources according to the time of their publication indicates its compliance with the current level of knowledge on the problem. An experimental study with a mandatory morphological component dedicated to the fundamental analysis of the effectiveness of the complex application of autologous bone and bioresorbable membranes in reconstruction of small defects of jawbones is essential.
