Abstract
<p>Horizontal and vertical bone resorption after tooth extraction can adversely affect the success of a dental implant. Therefore, several ridge augmentation techniques, such as guided bone regeneration (GBR), bone block grafting, and ridge expansion, have been developed to provide sufficient bone volume around the implant and improve its stability and position. GBR is the most widely used technique for bone augmentation. However, because of the numerous surgical procedures and materials available, it is difficult to choose the most appropriate treatment. Efficient and effective surgical procedures and materials with low complication rates have been recommended for different types of bony defects, such as intra-alveolar, dehiscence, fenestration, horizontal, and vertical bony defects. This review summarizes the results of studies on various GBR techniques published in the English literature and discusses the most appropriate and predictable GBR techniques that can be used for the different types of bony defects.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
