Abstract

Guided bone regeneration follows the principles of guided tissue regeneration, where an occlusive membrane is utilized to provide a barrier and allow bone regeneration to occur at a specific oral defect. Particulate bone substitutes are utilized to provide a scaffold and direct bone formation, which will occur by subsequent remodeling of the graft material. The success of the grafting procedure is directly dependent on a number of factors, including the host’s ability to heal, the proper execution of the procedure, and the materials utilized. Adequate postoperative management, including administration of antibiotics and regular follow-ups, will minimize the incidence of complications. With a success rate above 90%, guided bone regeneration procedures have become a predictable approach to regenerate deficient sites for the dental implant patient.
