Guided Bone Regeneration

Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is a regenerative and reconstructive procedure used in horizontal and vertical bone defects. GBR increase bone volume in areas where tooth is lost for long period of time which usually makes it difficult to place implant. In day today practice GBR has potentially influenced the implant placement. Regeneration of alveolar bone helps in implant placement in case of esthetic and functional needs.This book gives an insight on evolution, principles, various barrier membranes, graft materials, horizontal and vertical bone grafting techniques.
