Case Approach
This is a simplified summary of the case methodology. For complete details, please see the full PDF or video presentation.
Case Outcome
Horizontal ridge augmentation performed using only DPBM and cross-linked collagen membrane is an effective and predictable procedure.
In this clinical case, the clinical and radiographic final situation shows the right root mimetism and the sufficient amount of newly regenerated buccal bone around the implants.
The one-stage approach is a safe procedure with a short healing time, low invasiveness, and less number of surgeries.
It is also important to deliver a prosthesis that allows home and professional hygienic maintenance in the long term. The x-ray exam taken after 5 years of follow-up shows the good stability of the regenerated bone.
Before
Horizontal bone loss dwas observed at the start of the therapy
After
Final situation after horizontal ridge augmentation with GBR technique and soft tissue management with CTG (connective tissue graft).
