How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter defect depth (mm), mesiodistal width (mm), and buccolingual width (mm) from clinical measurements.
  2. Select membrane type — 1 = non-resorbable (ePTFE), 2 = collagen, 3 = synthetic resorbable.
  3. Input the number of defect sites and whether bone graft augmentation is planned.
  4. Review Defect Volume, Membrane Size Required, and estimated graft volume needed.
  5. Use these values to select the correct membrane size from your supplier's product line.

What each input means

Defect depth (mm)
Vertical depth of the intrabony defect.
Mesiodistal width (mm)
Mesiodistal dimension of the defect.
Buccolingual width (mm)
Buccolingual dimension of the defect.
Membrane type (1-3)
1 = non-resorbable (ePTFE), 2 = collagen, 3 = synthetic resorbable.

What each result means

Membrane area (cm²)
Minimum membrane area required.
Graft volume (cc)
Bone graft material volume needed.
Expected CAL gain (mm)
Anticipated clinical attachment level gain.
Removal needed (0/1)
1 = second surgery needed for membrane removal.
Success probability (%)
Estimated regeneration success rate.
Est. material cost ($)
Estimated cost of membrane and graft material.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Defect depth (mm) = 6, Mesiodistal width (mm) = 5, Buccolingual width (mm) = 4, Membrane type (1-3) = 2 = 4 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Membrane area
    Membrane area
    1.1 = 1.1
  3. Calculate Graft volume
    Graft volume
    0.07 = 0.07
  4. Calculate Expected CAL gain
    Expected CAL gain
    4.2 = 4.2
