Summary:
This article reviews the method of Guided Bone Regeneration. This method was
derived from the biological principle of Guided Tissue Regeneration. There is new therapeutic
concept for the regeneration of bone defects caused by restriction of the root apex, osteotomy
or cystectomy. Other suitable indications occur in periodontology, oral implantology, and in
case of alveolar crest astrophy – augmentation. The most suitable biomaterials used in this
process are reabsorbable collagen Bio-Gide membranes and natural bone mineral Bio-Oss. This
combination of materials has been used by the authors to stimulate the repair of bone defects
for several years, and it gives a favourable results.
