title: Special considerations, treatment selection criteria, and case reports.
abstract: As understanding of the diagnostic and technical prerequisites for maximizing therapeutic results after guided tissue regeneration (GTR) therapy matures, the applications of such treatment have been expanded. This article discusses the use of GTR therapy in the esthetic zone, beneath pontics, and in combination with resective treatment modalities. A hierarchy of appropriate treatment selection is presented.
