INSERTION OF KONUS MINI-IMPLANTS WITH SCREWED CRESTAL TECHNIQUE, WITH THE AID OF HETEROLOGOUS MATERIAL, IN PATIENT WITH SUPERIOR MAXILLARY ATROPHY AND MISCH BONE DENSITY D4

The use of an equine enzymatically deantigenated bone substitute in the bone atrophy of the upper maxilla

A 60 years old female patient presented bone atrophy at elements 1.3 and 1.4. It was scheduled to insert two mini-implants. During manual insertion of the mini-implant and during screwing, upon reaching the end of the desired working length, fenestration was observed in the vestibular cortical bone, hence heterologous bone tissue and a collagen membrane were used. About six months after the procedure, the patient underwent an X-ray check-up with open dental cone beam CT. CT has highlighted the presence of mini-implants at 1.3 and 1.4 sites, well-positioned and showing no signs of peri-implant resorption.
