Guided bone regeneration-associated tissue swelling: A digital three-dimensional assessment.

Statement Of Problem: Postoperative swelling following guided bone regeneration (GBR) may affect the dimensions of interim restorations and/or delivery timing. However, quantitative assessment of post-GBR swelling or its evaluation for possible impact on regenerative outcomes is lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this prospective clinical study was to quantify post-GBR swelling and correlate it with clinical parameters and outcomes.

Patient-reported outcomes following guided bone regeneration: Correlation with clinical parameters.

Objectives: Postoperative oral health-related quality of life is procedure-dependent and may vary during early healing. There is scarce evidence on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after extraction and guided bone regeneration (GBR) or on the clinical parameters influencing PROMs. This prospective observational study aimed to evaluate PROMs during the first 2 weeks following extraction and GBR and correlate them with clinical parameters.
