REGENERATION OF SOFT PERI-IMPLANT TISSUES USING A COLLAGEN MATRIX

The sheet summarizes the case of a 36-year-old patient who presented grade 2 mobility and percussion sensitivity of dental element 4.6. A treatment plan was therefore designed calling for extracting the impaired tooth and, during a single surgical procedure, placing an implant while carrying out simultaneous tissue regeneration by using a three- dimensional collagen matrix (Xenomatrix) and a heterologous bone graft in granules. The results of this case indicate that the Xenomatrix collagen matrix may be used to achieve regeneration of peri-implant soft tissues with no need for a second surgical procedure.
