Overview:
Guided Bone Regeneration is an important part of modern dental implantology and requires skills in application of the specific materials. More importantly is knowledge needed about the behavior of various materials and indications for application in individual cases.

The majority of the materials used in the bone regeneration procedures have osteoconductive properties but with the help of natural growth factors we can improve their potential of healing with osteoinductive features.

Cases are presented and included are explanations of the biological principles which will help you better understand Guided Bone Regeneration. At the end of this course, one will have a better understanding on how to incorporate GBR into one's dental practice.
