Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) has been used for the regeneration of bone in conjunction with the placement of dental implants, for augmentation of resorbed alveolar crests, and to treat localized ridge deformities. It is based on the principle of protecting bone regeneration against overgrowth of tissues formed by rapidly proliferating non-osteogenic cells. In this case, the space created by the Titanium mesh supported platelet rich fibrin membrane was filled by tissues with features of newly formed bone. No residual bone defects were observed and an increase of the alveolar width and height was observed. No untoward effects on bone regeneration were observed except membrane exposure after 4 and 1/2months. This case shows a satisfactory result concerning GBR technique or implant site development.
Highlights
Based on fundamental experimental studies performed by the research teams of Per Ingvar Branemark from the University of Gothenburg (Sweden) and Andre Schroeder from the University of Bern (Switzerland), the use of dental implants has become a scientifically accepted treatment for the replacement of lost or missing teeth in fully and partially edentulous patients
In landmark papers published in the late 1960s and 1970s, both research teams described the phenomenon of osseointegrated titanium implants.[1,2]

Summary
Based on fundamental experimental studies performed by the research teams of Per Ingvar Branemark from the University of Gothenburg (Sweden) and Andre Schroeder from the University of Bern (Switzerland), the use of dental implants has become a scientifically accepted treatment for the replacement of lost or missing teeth in fully and partially edentulous patients. Bone grafts and bone substitute materials play important roles in GBR procedures, with the indications ranging from minor implant fenestration defects to bridge major continuity defects in the facial skeleton. Guided bone regeneration and peri-implant contour augmentation are well established and inseparably connected to successful clinical implant dentistry.
