Summary

The purpose of this presentation will be to look back historically at guided bone regeneration and to help understand how newer techniques such as the customised alveolar ridge split have evolved from previous augmentation procedures. Another aim is to introduce possible ways in which we can bridge the gap between a notoriously analog treatment modality, in guided bone regeneration and ridge augmentation, and bring them into the current digital dentistry era.
