ONE STEP OPTIMISATION (O.S.O) PROCESS FOR HARD AND SOFT TISSUE AUGMENTATION IN SINGLE IMPLANT SITES WITH THE PONCHO LAMINA TECHNIQUE: CLINICAL PROTOCOL DESCRIPTION AND CASE REPORT

Equine derived enzymatically deantigenated bone graft is effective in bone regeneration 

Several techniques have been demonstrated in the bibliography for augmenting bone and soft tissue  around dental implants. Adequate hard tissue volume and a correct, mimicking the nature, soft tissue  configuration for the future prosthesis, assures stability and better prognosis of the implants in the long  term. Nevertheless, achieving such an optimised result, is often related to a series of surgical invasive  procedures that extend the length of treatment timeline and induce scar tissue formation. In this case  report, a novel approach is introduced for simultaneous hard and soft tissue augmentation with the use  of a well-documented cortical membrane for tissue augmentation adapted around a customise abutment  for cervical profile generation. Two single implant site cases are presented. Each one is either related  to a digital or analogue preparation of the customised abutment-Lamina membrane compound. Both  cases showed optimised results in hard and soft tissue configuration after a healing period of at least 4  months. Further studies will be needed in the future to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed protocol in  simultaneous hard and soft tissue augmentation during implant placement in edentulous sites.
