Guided Bone Regeneration for Aesthetic Implant Site Development

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Implant Aesthetics

Abstract

Achieving ideal aesthetics with bone augmentation for implant site development is often elusive. Numerous techniques, protocols, and materials in guided bone regeneration (GBR) have been described to manage compromised sites of varying severity. The protocols and techniques employed should be predictable, minimally invasive, aesthetic, and lasting. This evidence-based discussion will describe the latest techniques for GBR for aesthetic site development of the compromised implant site. Topics to be covered include patient evaluation and strategies for dealing with the horizontally and vertically deficient ridge. This chapter will also focus on the most current strategies in minimally invasive bone grafting and tissue management to improve long-term clinical success with dental implants, specifically in the aesthetic zone.
