title: Controlled tissue expansion with guided bone regeneration.
abstract: Guided tissue regeneration techniques are used to create new bone around implant defects and to augment edentulous ridges prior to implant placement. A new technique, tested successfully in baboons, utilizes soft tissue expanders prior to implant placement and tissue regeneration procedures.
