Abstract: This study included 954 implants placed simultaneously with guided bone regeneration. The method was performed in cases with horizontal and vertical deficit (up to 3 mm) of the alveolar bone, measured by cone-beam computed tomography. We used pericardial collagen barrier membrane and the following bone grafting materials - BoneCeramic ( Institut Straumann - Basel, Switzerland), Cerabone ( Botiss, Berlin, Germany) and Maxresorb Inject (Botiss, Berlin, Germany). The patients were monitored for 2 to 5 years. The survival rate was 99, 5 %, as 5 of 954 implants failed. The mean marginal bone loss is 0, 094mm.
