Objectives One task of Working Group 1 at the 2nd Consensus Meeting of the Osteology Foundation was to comprehensively assess the effects of hard tissue augmentation procedures on peri‐implant health or disease. Materials and methods One systematic review and meta‐analysis on the effects of hard tissue augmentation procedures included a total of eight studies ( n = 12 publications). Consensus statements, clinical recommendations, and implications for future research were based on structured group discussions and plenary session approval. Results After 1–10 years of follow‐ up, lateral bone augmentation procedures were associated with peri‐implant tissue stability, as evidenced by minimal and non‐significant changes in bleeding on probing, probing depth, and marginal bone levels. Case definitions based on clinical and radiographic parameters to differentiate peri‐implant health from disease have been inconsistently employed in the studies investigated. Conclusions Lateral bone augmentation procedures are associated with peri‐implant tissue stability on short‐term (1–3 years) and midterm follow‐ups to long‐term (>3 years) follow‐ups.
