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.

6 - Titanium scaffold filled with 100% Geistlich Bio-Oss® and placed onto bone defect. Fixation performed with 4 mini-screws in the buccal area.

7 - Soft tissue situation after 6 months of healing.

8 – Careful separation of Yxoss CBR® into two parts at predetermined breaking points (Easy Removal Design®). Pilot drill performed through built-in holes according to backward planning principle.

9 - 4 implants placed in positions 5, 7, 10 and 12 to support the prosthesis. Bleeding out of the bone shows a good vascularization.

10 - Panoramic X-ray 6 months after the augmentation. In the meantime, 4 additional implants have been placed in the lower jaw.

1 - Preoperative radiograph depicting the severe bony atrophy in the posterior mandible.

2 - Fixation of the pre-formed osteosynthesis plate with miniscrews.

3 - Augmentation with autologous bone harvested from the angular region of the mandible and mixed with Geistlich Bio-Oss®.

4 - The grafted site including the osteosynthesis plate is covered with Geistlich Bio-Gide® and the tensile collagen membrane is pinned down. Thus, the augmented site is accurately covered and stabilized.

5 - In order to obtain primary wound closure, a double-layered suturing technique is used by combining a horizontal internal mattress and a coronal single stitch technique.

6 - Implants are inserted 6 months after augmentation and the healing abutments are connected to the implants.

7 - Lateral view of the final prosthetic restoration 6 months after implant placement.

8 - Intraoral radiograph 15 months after augmentation procedure showing a stable bony situation.

1 - This case shows a shallow vestibule and almost no keratinized tissue on the lower crestal part. The horizontal incision has to be made within the keratinized tissue (see depicted line).

2 - Ensure the incision is within the keratinized tissue: an apically fixed split flap is used here. Remove the muscles, scar fibers and ligaments before application of Geistlich Mucograft®.

3 - Measure the defect carefully with a periodontal probe and cut Geistlich Mucograft® in a dry state. In the case of a large vestibuloplasty, several pieces of Geistlich Mucograft® can be sutured side by side.

4 - Geistlich Mucograft® is sutured directly onto the periosteum with 5.0 resorbable sutures and left exposed for open healing (healed by secondary intention).

5 - 10 days post-operative: favorable healing where granulation tissue and new soft tissues have formed.

6 - 1 month post-operative: excellent wound healing with complete integration and epithelialization of Geistlich Mucograft® as well as keratinization of the crestal aspect could be observed.

7 - 3 months post-operative: excellent esthetic outcome with full integration and epithelialization of Geistlich Mucograft® to the surrounding tissue and keratinization of the crestal aspect.

8 - 1 year post-operative: the formed keratinized tissue fulfills its functionality and shows an esthetically pleasing result matching the structure and color of the surrounding tissues. The mean width of the peri-implant keratinized mucosa was 4.0 mm, and a low shrinkage was assessed at 38%.

9 - 5 years post-operative: the mucogingival appearance remains stable. The resulting keratinized tissue fulfills its functionality and shows an esthetically pleasing result.

3 - 10 week post op healing. Root coverage achieved. Patient reports no problems and is pleased with the results. More follow ups to come.

2 - Sites at the day of the procedure after sutures placed. Tunnel between #23,24 and partial thickness flap raised between #23,22.

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.

1 - Baseline frontal view: missing central incisor.

2 - Baseline occlusal view: The facial contour is flattened by physiological dimensional ridge alterations post-extraction.
