Short summary
Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) uses barrier membranes with or without grafts to rebuild bone lost after tooth extraction, crucial for successful dental implants.
AI-generated from the title and abstract; the full text is not read.
Key points
- Post-extraction bone resorption leads to ridge dimensional changes, often necessitating GBR for implant placement.
- GBR involves barrier membranes, potentially combined with bone grafts or substitutes.
- Two GBR approaches exist: simultaneous with implant placement or staged before implant placement.
- Angiogenesis and adequate blood supply are vital for successful bone regeneration in GBR.

Abstract
Post-extraction crestal bone resorption is common and unavoidable which can lead to significant ridge dimensional changes. To regenerate enough bone for successful implant placement, Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is often required. GBR is a surgical procedure that uses barrier membranes with or without particulate bone grafts or/and bone substitutes. There are two approaches of GBR in implant therapy: GBR at implant placement (simultaneous approach) and GBR before implant placement to increase the alveolar ridge or improve ridge morphology (staged approach). Angiogenesis and ample blood supply play a critical role in promoting bone regeneration.
