The customized Ti-mesh is filled with the autologous bone chips mixed with Geistlich Bio-Oss® granules in a 50:50 ratio.

Intra-operative view at the end of the reconstruction showing the bone augmentation: the customized mesh was stabilized with 2 fixation screws.

A Geistlich Bio-Gide® membrane is used to cover the customized mesh in order to increase the barrier effect.

Clinical control 3 months later showing favorable healing of the soft tissue and correction of the defect.

Initial situation, patient presented with radiographic and clinically traditional signs of peri-implantitis, including bleeding on probing, suppuration, radiographic progressive bone loss and clinical pathologic probing depths.

Mechanical debridement was achieved using titanium scalers, an ultrasonic device with an implant protective cap and titanium brushes to remove all of the visible contaminants of the implant surface. Citric acid was then placed on shreds of a non-woven gauze and applied to the surface for approx. 1min. Copious irrigation was done using saline solution and the surface was ablated using the Er:YAG laser at 20pps/50mj.

After the surface was prepped and no signs of residual granulation tissue was noted, the defect was grafted with Geistlich Bio-Oss®. Attention was given towards not augmenting beyond the bony envelope.

A protective Geistlich Bio-Gide® membrane was placed over Geistlich Bio-Oss®.

Geistlich Fibro-Gide® was placed over Geistlich Bio-Gide® to enhance soft-tissue volume and quality. Geistlich Fibro-Gide® was trimmed and adapted to the defect site ensuring a tension free closure.

Geistlich Fibro-Gide® was place on the top of the bone graft to enhance soft-tissue thickness. Geistlich Fibro-Gide® is porous. We can observe the rapid penetration of blood through the matrix.

Closure with a tension-free flap was achieved by releasing incisions and secured using 4-0 chromic gut sutures.

1.5 year post-operative photo and radiograph show the healing of the soft-tissues with no signs of peri-implantitis and adequate tissue thickening. Radiographic bone levels have maintained stable over the course of the year.

Preoperative radiograph of #31 with guarded prognosis due to potential root fracture and infection.

Atraumatic extraction was performed and intact furcation bone is noted.

vallos® mineralized cortico-cancellous bone allograft was placed.

A collagen plug was used to cover the bone allograft

Immediate post alveolar ridge preservation radiograph.

Healing at 2 weeks prior to implant placement.

Healing at 4 months prior to implant placement.

Implant was placed with 32 Ncm. Post implant placement radiograph.

6 months after the implant placement, the final restoration was delivered.

6 months following horizontal ridge augmentation, using Dr. Urban’s sausage technique, we re-entered the site for implant placement using a full thickness flap with no vertical incisions, to not disrupt collateral blood supply. There is excellent bone volume, but a very thin vertical soft tissue volume over the crest of the implant site.

Straumann implants are placed in sites #4 and #5 to a 25Ncm torque value with no issues and the cover screws were placed.

Geistlich Fibro-Gide® is placed crestally over the implants and draped to the buccal and slightly towards the lingual. Geistlich Fibro-Gide® was trimmed slightly to minimize the thickness of the material.

The flap was released so that we can achieve tension-free primary closure over the implant and the Geistlich Fibro-Gide® soft tissue augmentation site.

Following an 8 week healing period, we make a crestal incision and lay a conservative full-thickness flap to uncover the implants. We observe a 3-4 mm increase in verticle soft tissue thickness over the implant site.

We allow 3 weeks following the initial uncovering and can now see beautiful soft tissue architecture surrounding the implants.

Prior to the restorative process we see the pre-restorative radiograph with the healing abutments in place and we can also observe excellent crestal bone levels around the implants.

1 year follow-up. The restorative dentist opted to splint the crowns together. The patient did not want implants posterior to this area and he did not want any sinus augmentation as he had a history of sinus issues.

The patient presented to the clinic with a discolored tooth #8, with mobility and a history of trauma. The tooth has a horizontal fracture in the apical third of the root and has recurrent infection after the root canal treatment.

The tooth has had root canal treatment, has a horizontal root fracture in the apical third and exhibits with a periapical lesion.

The tooth is carefully extracted and the socket is left to heal through unassisted healing.

After 6 weeks a full thickness flap is elevated with a distal releasing vertical incision. A bone level implant is placed according to the prosthetic plan through a surgical guide. Notice the buccal dehiscence.

Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® is trimmed to an “L-Shape” and is placed on the buccal-occlusal side of the implant. Additional Geistlich Bio-Oss® granules are placed around the remaining gaps.

To stabilize the grafted area the bone augmentation is covered with Geistlich Bio-Gide®, which is fixated apically with two resorbable pins.

The flap is sutured with horizontal mattress and single interrupted sutures and primary closure is achieved.

Four months after implant placement, a limited access “U”-flap was created and an implant impression was taken. The tissue was rolled to the buccal side and the abutment connection was performed.

The definitive layered zirconia crown was fabricated and placed. The clinical situation 5 months after implant placement, shows harmonious soft tissue and a well-integrated implant crown. The patient is satisfied with the esthetic result.

The periapical radiograph taken at the one-year follow-up shows stable marginal bone levels.

A mid-facial incision was made, with the intent to preserve the minimal keratinized tissue that was available, as well as vertical incisions along the line angles of the canines to reflect a partial thickness flap.

Platelet-rich fibrin clots were formed by centrifugation. The leukocyte-PRF (L-PRF) was extracted, and the L-PRF was used to hydrate Geistlich Mucograft®

Geistlich Mucograft® and PRF stabilized via glycolon sutures.

Clinical situation at three-week follow-up.

Frontal view at twelve-month follow-up.

Pre-operative view of recession defects that ranges from 2-5 mm. There is minimal keratinized tissue on #14. Pocket depths are within limits with no loss of interproximal tissue.

A 15c blade is used to make sulcular incisions with scooping incisions at the level of the CEJ. A combination flap consisting of full-thickness coronally followed by a partial-thickness dissection apically is reflected.

The papillary tissue is de-epithelialized with a football diamond bur on a rotary hand piece. This exposes a vascular bed for the graft and intended coronal positioning of the flap.

Side-view of the recession defects. It is clearly visible how deep the recession defects are.

Geistlich Mucograft® is trimmed and positioned to extend beyond the root surfaces. A combination of simple interrupted sutures at its coronal edge and mattress sutures extending over the entire graft are used to adapt the graft to the recipient site.

The flap is then advanced and coronally positioned with horizontal mattress sutures to release tension and simple interrupted sutures to approximate the flap edges to the de-epithelialized papillas.

Follow-up after 1 week: note that the flap margins appear stable. Erythema and edema evident with maturation of the tissue beginning.

Follow-up after 3 months: maturation of the tissue evident with complete root coverage. An increase in the zone of keratinized tissue by #14 is also visible.

Follow-up after 1 year: stability of the graft is evident, complete coverage and a healthy and maintainable gingival situation have been achieved.
