GBR using L-shaped Ti-mesh with simultaneous implant placement (one-step surgery) in the esthetic zone could achieve predictable results for vertical and horizontal bone augmentation at the same time. Meanwhile, L-shaped Ti-mesh could preferably reconstruct and reduce the labial bone resorption to achieve long-term esthetics. This newly designed L-shaped Ti-mesh may offer predictable and excellent outcomes for the implant restoration in the esthetic zone.
