Presentation Category
Implant Dentistry
Introduction/Context/Diagnosis
This is a clinical case demonstrating preparation of bone graft site and bone grafting to improve the defect in the buccal plate. Also, shaping of soft tissues before placing the implants.
Methods/Treatment Plan
Site preparation for bone graft by removing the existing sealer button that is detrimental for long term prognosis of the implant. After healing of the site for about a month, reopening it and placing cancellous bone graft to cover the defect. Allowed the site to heal for about 6 months. Placed appropriate site development placed implant #8. Shaped the soft tissue using a temporary crown.
Results/Outcome
Increased in bucco-lingual diameter of the bone after graft placement. This increased horizontal width facilitated the placement of implant.
Significance/Conclusions
Horizontal bone augmentation using cancellous bone graft.
Avoided the veneer surgery that required a donor site.
Shaping of soft tissues in order to increase the esthetic outcomes.
