Long-Term Stability of Soft and Hard Tissues After Guided Bone Regeneration in the Maxillary Anterior Region
Sponsor: Fuming He
Summary
This study examines the long-term condition of bone and gum tissues around dental implants in the upper front jaw after guided bone regeneration (GBR), a procedure used to rebuild bone at implant sites. Researchers review existing dental records and images obtained for clinical care and collect information during long-term follow-up. Enrollment has closed, and follow-up data collection is ongoing. Participants undergo intraoral scanning, oral and periodontal examinations, and questionnaires after providing written informed consent. The study assesses the volume and thickness of augmented hard tissues, bone levels around implants, and surrounding soft tissues. It also assesses implant and restoration survival, health around implants, complications, and patient-reported outcomes. Researchers will explore factors associated with long-term tissue stability. This is an observational study. It does not assign or change treatment. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images are used only when obtained for clinical reasons. No CBCT scan is performed solely for research purposes.

Guided Bone Regeneration
Guided bone regeneration was performed as part of previous routine clinical care associated with dental implant treatment in the anterior maxilla. The present observational study does not assign or modify treatment.
