Abstract

The gold standard for bone regeneration in atrophic ridge patients is guided bone regeneration (GBR). This makes it possible to get enough bone volume for an appropriate implant-prosthetic rehabilitation. The barrier membranes must meet the primary GBR design requirements, which include adequate integration with the surrounding tissue, spaciousness and clinical manageability. Titanium mesh's superior mechanical qualities and biocompatibility have broadened the indications of GBR technology, enabling it to be used to restore alveolar ridges with more significant bone defects. GBR with titanium mesh is being used in many clinical settings and for a range of clinical procedures. Furthermore, several advancements in digitalization and material modification have resulted from the study of GBR using titanium mesh. Hence, we report a review on the various characteristics of titanium mesh and its current use in clinical settings for bone augmentation.
