Abstract :

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a surgical technique involving bone grafts and barrier membranes to repair minor defects near dental implants. It is typically used for dehiscence or fenestration defects ?2 mm, often incorporating autogenous bone for larger defects. Achieving tension-free primary closure is essential to avoid wound dehiscence, a leading cause of GBR failure. Proper fixation of the barrier membrane without mobility is crucial. Continuous monitoring is necessary if the membrane becomes exposed to prevent secondary infections.
