Recently, the author has newly proposed the terminology of 'immediate guided bone regeneration, iGBR' and the relocated clinical knowhow and iGBR has received lots of interest since then. The clinicians should choose the indication for iGBR carefully, and the selection of biomaterials, compression knowhow, the application of polydeoxyribonucleotide, and the suture technique, Hidden X should be also considered. Especially, the open healing concept using collagen 3D matrix can produce wide zone of keratinized tissue by secondary healing and it may prevent the future peri-implantitis.
