Background
A thirty-three-year-old healthy female patient (ASA 1), who experienced implant failure with an affected neighboring tooth, came to the clinic for procedure.
Case Description
Under local anesthesia, a safety flap was designed and released from the distal canine to the canine, using C-shaped reverse incisions from partial to full thickness to ensure adequate blood supply. The implant was removed along with the extraction of two teeth due to the incorrect placement of the implant. Esthetic concerns also resulted from previous treatment. The bone was cleaned mechanically, perforations were made, and no additional chemical or biological treatments were applied.
Two microsurgical tent screws were placed strategically to maintain the vertical dimensions of the guided bone regeneration (GBR). Autogenous bone was harvested from the mandibular angle and mixed with xenograft in a 50-50% ratio. Next, two OSSIX® Volumax scaffolds were adapted and fixed next to each other to cover the bone from palatal to buccal, secured with resorbable sutures. To read the whole case study click below.
