Limited evidence suggests guided bone regeneration with or without autogenous bone grafts are equivalently effective in horizontal bone gain

ConclusionWithin the limitations of the study, GBR with or without autogenous block graft may be an effective approach in augmenting horizontally deficient mandibular or maxillary ridges, before the placement of dental implants. However, more complications may be seen with the use of an autogenous block graft related to the donor sites.
