“…Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a surgical procedure to restore bone defects or deficiencies in the oral and maxillofacial region, for example, to increase the height and width of the alveolar ridge (Buser, Brägger, Lang, & Nyman, ; Buser, Dula, Belser, Hirt, & Berthold, ; Chiapasco & Zaniboni, ; Dahlin, Andersson, & Linde, ; Dahlin, Sennerby, Lekholm, Linde, & Nyman, ; Jung, Fenner, Hämmerle, & Zitzmann, ; Simion, Jovanovic, Tinti, & Benfenati, ).
