GUIDED BONE REGENERATION IN ESTHETIC DENTISTRY

The case pertains to a patient who had been previously rehabilitated with a ceramic crown on tooth 2.1. The patient paid an urgent visit to the doctor due to the loss of the prosthesis. The patient was treated with the guided bone regeneration technique and, at the same time, with the insertion of a dental implant to replace the compromised tooth. The case described entails using an equine bone substitute (Bioteck) consisting of a 1:1 mixture of cancellous and cortical granules sized 0.5-1 mm, in conjunction with a collagen membrane (Biocollagen, Bioteck). X-ray imaging 12 months from the implant insertion showed that peri-implant levels had been preserved and there was no sign of bone resorption.
