THE MANAGEMENT OF SOCKETS RESULTING FROM THE REMOVAL OF TEETH OR IMPLANTS

The case concerned a patient who visited the doctor complaining of difficulties in mastication. In particular, one observed that two elements were compromised, and the recommended treatment entailed extraction and rehabilitation on implants placed at a later time, following a ridge preservation procedure. In addition there was an implant without prosthesis, whose placement violated all principles of prosthetic guided surgery. After atraumatic removal of all elements, the post- extraction sockets were grafted with the biomaterial of equine origin and then covered with the pericardium membrane (Heart, Bioteck). The procedure entails using two different bone substitutes: an equine bone substitute in cortical-cancellous granules (Bioteck), and a biomaterial of bovine origin, in cancellous granules, obtained via heat treatment. Four months later it was possible to place two implants.
