Abstract: This paper is a review on Guided Bone Regeneration. Guided Bone Regeneration has emerged as a predictable method to enhance the bone volume in deficient recipient sites prior to implant placement.  It provides sufficient bone volume and adequate soft tissue thickness to enable implants to be placed at the most optimal position from a prosthetic point of view.  The barrier membrane acts as a physical barrier, excluding competing and non-osteogenic cells from the overlying mucosa into the membrane-protected space.
