Facts

Patient:

21 years old woman, non-smoker, medically healthy.

Clinical problem:

Patient presented a severe periimplantitis at 22 and 23 with no papilla and a gingival recession between them and a papilla loss at distal aspect of tooth 21. Aesthetic was severely affected since the patient gad gummy smile.

Clinical solution:

Explantation and Guided Bone Regeneration using a PTFE, Ti-reinforced NeoGen® membrane and 100% autogenous bone.

Treatment plan:

Explantation of implants at 22 and 23.
3 months later: (which turned out to be 2 years later because the patients was treated and failed elsewhere): 3D guided bone regeneration using 100% autogenous bone and a PTFE, Ti-reinforced NeoGen® membrane which was fixed by Neoss Tacks.
1 year later: Reentry and implant placement at 23 + connective tissue graft to solve the papilla loss at distal aspect of tooth 21.
2 months later: Free connective tissue to reposition the mucogingival line.
2 months later: 2nd surgical phase and temporary restoration.
2 years later: Final prosthesis.
4 years later: Clinical and Radiographic Evolution of the Aesthetic Zone.

Products:

1 NeoGen Ti-Reinforced PTFE Membrane.

Conclusion:

3D guided bone regeneration using an e-PTFE, Ti-reinforced NeoGen® membrane and 100% autogenous bone is a fully predictable treatment for the severe hard and soft tissue atrophy on the Aesthetic Zone. This statement is supported not only by panoramic and periapical x-rays, but also by CBCT sectional cuts where we can see the complete stability of the regenerated bone.
