# Soft and Hard Tissue Stability Following Guided Bone Regeneration in an Active Orthodontics Patient

## TL;DR

A 14-year-old patient with bone loss and gum recession was successfully treated with guided bone regeneration combined with orthodontics.

## Contribution

This case study demonstrates the successful use of GBR combined with orthodontic treatment in a young patient with complex bone defects.

## Key findings

- GBR combined with orthodontic treatment successfully addressed bone loss and gingival recession.
- Multidisciplinary treatment is effective for complex bone defects in young patients.
- The treatment provided a stable and successful outcome for the anterior maxillary tooth area.

## Abstract

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a bone augmentation technique widely used in clinical practice to promote new bone growth by creating a conducive environment through bone grafts and barrier membranes. This article reports a case of a 14-year-old patient with significant bone loss, wound breakdown, and gingival recession in the anterior maxillary tooth, which was successfully treated through GBR combined with orthodontic treatment. This complex case of an area with bone defect required a multidisciplinary treatment in order to provide the best treatment for young patients.
