The article discusses guided bone regeneration (GBR), a surgical technique for augmenting alveolar bone volume prior to or around dental implants, emphasizing the 'pass' principles: primary wound closure, angiogenesis, space creation/maintenance, and stability. These principles are crucial for predictable bone regeneration, as factors like wound healing and membrane exposure significantly impact outcomes. The text highlights that successful GBR requires meticulous surgical technique and understanding of biological principles to achieve high implant success rates.
