Long‐term outcome of implants placed with guided bone regeneration (<scp>GBR</scp>) using resorbable and non‐resorbable membranes after 12–14 years

Abstract

It is concluded that implants placed simultaneously with GBR procedures using resorbable or non-resorbable membranes reveal a high survival rate ranging from 91.9% to 92.6%, therefore it is considered to be a safe and predictable therapy. [Correction added after online publication 30 November 2012: the marginal bone level of CM, e-PTFE, and control was corrected to 'control 2.36 mm (SD), CM 2.4 mm (SD), e-PTFE 2.53 mm (SD)' in the Results section].
