Treatment overview

Guided bone augmentation for implant planning

In many cases, the available bone volume must be increased before dental implants can be placed. A missing tooth, periodontal disease, extensive periapical lesions, and trauma are common causes of alveolar bone loss and may create bone loss before implants.

Guided bone augmentation uses bone grafts together with appropriately selected membranes, absorbable or non-absorbable, to rebuild the ridge and improve bone support for implants. The ridge can usually be augmented more predictably in width than in height, so planning depends on the existing bone anatomy and the final restorative goal.

Case 1

Guided bone regeneration

Guided bone regeneration was applied to a deficient ridge in the maxillary second premolar region. Allograft and an absorbable collagen membrane were placed to address the defect and increase the width of the ridge.

Case 2

Guided bone regeneration

Guided bone regeneration was applied to a deficient ridge in the region of a maxillary central incisor. Radiographic data showed that the bone defect extended approximately to the floor of the nose. Xenograft and an absorbable collagen membrane were placed.

Case 3

Guided bone regeneration

The same case six months after the reopening and during the placement of the implant. The newly formed bony tissue showed adequate stability, after application of the regenerative techniques.
