Immediate Single-Tooth Replacement with Acellular Dermal Matrix Allogeneic Bone and Ossifying Collagen Scaffold: A Case Series

The present study aims to describe a technique that combines a flapless approach to extract hopeless teeth in the aesthetic zone and implant insertion using an acellular dermal matrix placed to contain the coronal aspect of an innovative ossifying collagen scaffold designed to promote neoformation of vital native bone. This technique combines a minimally invasive approach with the application of a novel biomaterial that offers stable augmentation of the gingival thickness as well as bone fill in the facial gap, the space between the implant and the buccal plate, to ensure predictable aesthetic results.

A collection of cases is presented to demonstrate the surgical technique and the situation over a follow-up period of 22 months. Pre- and post-treatment CBCT imaging were utilised to quantify the stability or changes noted in the alveolar bone, and pre-and post-treatment intraoral scanning were used for the same purpose in the peri-implant phenotype. This case series presents stable and aesthetic clinical outcomes evaluated through digital assessment.
