Abstract: 
Tooth loss can significantly impact the quality of human life, affecting overall well-being, appearance, and nutrition. In advanced dentistry, implant therapy has become a popular option for restoring edentulous regions. Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is a bone grafting technique that utilizes a protective barrier membrane to prevent soft tissue penetration. This study aims to review various GBR methods, focusing on topics such as bone resorption in the edentulous jaw, different types of GBR techniques, indications for GBR, and limitations associated with this approach.
