Implantation with Simultaneous Augmentation
Grunder, UeliProcedure: - Case evaluation - Incision technique - Implant placement - Membrane adjustment and fixation - Introduction of replacement material - Flap mobilization - Suture technique Contents: Implantation was desired for replacement of a missing upper canine tooth and the adjacent lateral incisor tooth. The initial case evaluation revealed a relatively narrow gap between these two teeth in addition to extensive hard and soft-tissue defects. We selected an incision technique that made it possible to do the augmentation work yet subsequently achieve a tension-free flap closure. Since the bony defect was large while the available space was limited, we had to go for the best possible compromise in regard to implant insertion. After the implants had been inserted, augmentation was carried out using a non-absorbable, titanium-reinforced membrane, bone replacement material, and an absorbable membrane. Extreme flap mobilization was needed to achieve flap closure. An optimal suture technique was used to complete the surgery. -
Single Tooth Replacement of an Upper Lateral Incisor
Wagner, WilfriedProcedure: - Extraction - Implant Site Drilling and Implant Placement - T-Adapt Insertion Contents: This live operation starts with the extraction of tooth 12, which was loosened and damaged by trauma. Pin fixation was not possible, and a significant loss of distal papillary substance was observed. We therefore elected for placement a 4.5 mm conical Astra implant. After completion of the implant site drilling and the implant placement, a T-Adapt was inserted to shape and support the mucosa. A temporary crown was inserted chairside and left in place for 3 months. -
