Alveolar ridge atrophies are considered one of the main limitations to achieving implant-prosthetic rehabilitation with high esthetic value and long-term stability. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) can be regarded as one of the most predictable solutions for increasing bone volume in atrophic ridges. Indeed, many authors have demonstrated the reliability of customized titanium meshes and computer-guided surgery. These techniques can now be considered the “gold standard” in the treatment of patients with alveolar ridge deficiencies in both the maxilla and mandible for three main reasons: adaptability, efficacy, and, most importantly, long-term stability.

Furthermore, the digital approach—ranging from 3D planning to the fabrication of patient-specific customized titanium meshes and other devices—is revolutionizing the treatment of alveolar bone atrophies, making reconstructive and implant surgery easier, faster, safer, and more accurate. Mastering the current digital protocols in the field of GBR is essential to managing each clinical case and achieving the best possible outcome, ultimately leading to a complete “restitutio in integrum”.
