Conference summary
After tooth loss, the alveolar process undergoes a process of reabsorption. Infectious pathologies (of dental and other origins) can also be responsible for sequestration of native bone and affect the possibility of rehabilitation with dental implants.
Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) using titanium meshes is a technique used to treat bone defects in oral implantology, especially in cases of severe three-dimensional bone loss.
From preformed titanium meshes to customized titanium meshes, the author’s surgical protocol for GBR with titanium meshes in various clinical situations will be presented.
