Cell-to-cell Communication: Guided Bone Regeneration

Guided bone regeneration is usually explained in terms of membranes and biomaterials; here the viewpoint shifts to the cells and to the signals they exchange while new bone forms. Bernd Stadlinger and Hendrik Terheyden are the authors of this multimedia instalment in the Cell-to-Cell Communication series, devoted to intercellular communication in the field of implant dentistry. Its value is above all didactic: it helps the clinician visualize the biology underpinning their surgical protocols and works well as a teaching resource and as support when explaining treatment to the patient.
