Initial clinical and radiographic presentation shows buccal soft tissue enlargement and bone loss #21-22 area.

Clinical facial view showing full thickness flap reflection with complete enucleation of cystic lesion (excisional biopsy).

Clinical view showing hydration of vallos®f and Geistlich Bio-Oss® as two separate grafts.

Clinical facial view showing placement of vallos®f internally for maximum osteogenic/osteoinductive potential and Geistlich Bio-Oss® externally for space maintenance.

Clinical facial view showing placement of Geistlich Bio-Gide® covering the defect and extending one tooth mesillay and distally.

Clinical facial view showing primary closure using 6-0 prolene sutures.

CBCT immediately post-surgery showing radiolucent allograft internally for osseoinduction and radiopaque xenograft externally for space maintenance.

After flap elevation at 4 months showing, the new buccal bone plate together with a completely filled alveolus.

Clinical facial views showing healing at 2 and 4 weeks with proper soft tissue healing.

6 months post-surgery radiographic presentation showing stable periodontium and proper bone fill #21-22 area.

Comparison of pre- and post-surgical CBCT views showing good bone formation.

Comparison of pre- and post-surgical clinical views showing stable periodontium.

Pre-operative Condition

Bone graft placement, saturated with rhPDGF-BB

Collagen membrane placement

After six months, healing was complete, resulting in a 10×10×6.5 mm bone fill. Tooth #7, which was part of the combined defect, was fully regenerated.

The adjacent ridge defect was also restored, enabling the placement of a standard-sized implant without the need for additional grafting.

Pre-operative assessment demonstrates minimal zone and thickness of buccal keratinized gingiva, with a medium periodontal phenotype.

Pre-operative CBCT with virtually planned implant placement. A thin buccal plate (<1mm) is measured. Good apical bone is noted for the placement of a Straumann® 12mmx4.1mm bone level tapered implant.

Minimally invasive removal of #12 using only a buccal approach mini-flap showing an intact buccal plate with immediate placement of the implant (1 mm below the intact buccal wall) in a screw-retained position. A 3mm buccal gap is measured and a 1.5mm palatal gap.

Both the buccal and palatal gaps have been packed with Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® hydrated with Gem 21S. It’s my preference to squeeze Geistlich Fbro-Gide® between thumb and forefinger, prior to placement. A dry-carved piece of Geistlich Fibro-Gide® is in position thinned approximately 2mm with beveling laterally and coronally with a new #15 blade.

Geistlich Fibro-Gide® in place facial to the intact buccal wall under a full thickness buccal approach mini-flap. Immediate contour management was completed using an Anatotemp® for a maxillary bicuspid tooth.

Suturing completed using 4-0PTFE and 5 -0 polypropylene non-resorbable sutures. Anticipated short-term 25% post-operative swelling is discussed with the patient.

3 months post-operative appointment showing a well-developed subgingival transition zone created with immediate contour management. A reverse torque test was completed, and the case proceeded to completion.

9 month post-operative view with final screw-retained crown in place. Good interproximal papilla healing is noted with thickening of the buccal periodontal phenotype compared with Fig. #1. (Restorative Therapy: Drew Shulman DMD, MAGD; Philadelphia, PA)

Clinical presentation of tooth #31 showing radiographic evidence of bone loss, profuse bleeding on probing (BOP), deep probing depths, and suppuration, indicative of peri-implantitis with a Class I-infraosseous (c) circumferential-type defect, as described in the study by Monje et al. (2019) Clin Implant Relat Res, 21(4)635-643.

Crown removal by the prosthodontist, followed by placement of a healing abutment for non-surgical therapy using PerioFlow®. After therapy, a cover screw was placed, and the tissue was allowed to heal over the implant for eight weeks.

Surgical treatment initiated with a midcrestal incision and full-thickness flap elevation. Granulation tissue was removed using a surgical curette, revealing a deep infrabony defect.

Implant thoroughly decontaminated using Perioflow® with erythritol powder to ensure a clean surface for regeneration.

rhPDGF-BB was used to hydrate bone grafting materials (vallos® Demineralized Cortical Granules and Geistlich Bio-Oss®), which were first hydrated with sterile water before rhPDGF-BB was added. The materials were mixed in a 1:1 ratio and allowed to sit for 10 minutes before being applied to the deep infrabony defect to promote regeneration.

Flap closed primarily with 5-0 PTFE horizontal mattress and single interrupted suture for secure closure.

Collagen membrane stabilized with 5-0 chromic gut sutures using the lasso technique.

After 5 months of healing, significant bone gain is evident. Geistlich Bio-Oss® was placed on the buccal site to enhance thickness, covered with an amnion-chorion membrane. A healing abutment was placed at this stage.

Two-year follow-up shows disease resolution with shallow probing depths, no bleeding or suppuration, and complete bone gain. A new crown was fabricated with an increased final abutment height (>2mm), contributing to optimal maintenance and long-term stability based on evidence supporting its role in promoting long-term success. A second surgery may be necessary to gain additional tissue thickness or cover residual thread exposure to achieve the desired long-term results.
