Atrophic ridge augmentation utilizing guided bone regeneration (GBR) has become a major treatment option to provide optimal bone support for osseointegrated dental implants. GBR was initially employed to treat simple defects, including dehiscence and fenestration defects. In addition, GBR has been utilized for horizontal and vertical ridge augmentations and has demonstrated reproducible outcomes, with high implant survival rates and low complication rates. The results of recent clinical and histologic studies of ridge augmentation with GBR indicated that autogenous bone graft may be a suitable material for staged localized ridge augmentation in both horizontal and vertical augmentations. The main advantages of autogenous grafts are their osteogenic, osteoinductive and osteoconductive capabilities. Because of these qualities, autogenous grafts are considered by many to be the gold standard for bone regeneration
