Background
A forty-year-old female patient arrived at the clinic for a consultation regarding a required aesthetic improvement of her anterior teeth due to anodontia of the upper lateral incisors. An orthodontic treatment was recommended to create space for alveolar reconstruction and implant placement. The patient needed reconstruction before implant installation, along with soft tissue thickness enhancement.
Case Description
Horizontal ridge augmentation was performed with cortical particulate allograft and OSSIX® Plus as the barrier membranes. The membranes were stabilized with periosteal sutures. OSSIX® Volumax scaffolds were placed on the grafted area to improve soft tissue thickness before the implantation of the central incisors. After the osseointegration period, both implants were connected, and rehabilitation was performed. For the whole case click below.
