Guide Bone Regeneration has been used widely in implantology for enhancing bone healing to optimize implant placements in the maxillary. The GBR is a technique that uses resorbable and non-resorbable membranes in combination with other filling biomaterials as autologous, homologous or heterologous bone graft, or aloplastic materials as mechanic barriers that prohibit the migration of connective and epithelial cells, enabling the osteogenic cells invasion in bone defects.
