  • Discussion of membrane use in guided bone regeneration.

    • Main Results:

    • Multiple bone grafting options are available for mandibular reconstruction.
    • The necessity of autogenous bone versus alternatives is debated.
    • Membranes play a significant role in enhancing bone regeneration outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • The choice of bone grafting technique depends on the specific defect.
    • Autogenous bone remains a gold standard but alternatives are emerging.
    • Membrane application can improve the success of mandibular reconstruction.
