PERI-IMPLANT GUIDED BONE REGENERATION

The use of flexible equine bone substitutes and three-dimensional collagenic matrix for peri-implant defects

The following case illustrates implant placement associated with GBR to replace a missing mandibular first molar. The surgical protocol entails using an heterologous bone substitute obtained via an exclusive enzymatic process of deantigenation in conjunction with a Flex Cortical Sheet. At reentry surgery, to boost the local peri-implant phenotype, a tridimensional collagen matrix is grafted onto the regenerated bone to thicken the peri-implant keratinized tissue while avoiding the need to harvest an autogenous connective tissue graft.
