Advanced approach:
Delayed implant placement
Delayed implant placement is associated with good quality bone that is fully functional at time of implant placement.
Day 0 after 3 months * Hämmerle C. et al., ITI Consensus Statement FDDH; EM: supplementation.
**Definition of an intact extraction socket varies among clinical experts and includes buccal bone defects of 0 to 50%.
Clinical situation day of surgical procedure prior to tooth extraction.
Geistlich Mucograft® Seal in place prior to suturing.
Clinical situation 4 months post-operative, prior to implant placement.
Clinical case: Delayed implant placement with defect bony buccal wall using Geistlich Combi-Kit Collagen.
Hopeless lower premolar. A flapless approach is preferred, leaving the interdental papillae intact and preserving the cortical bone walls
After tooth extraction, the socket is augmented with Geistlich Bio-Oss® Collagen, gently packed to completely fill the alveolus.
A Geistlich Bio-Gide® membrane is trimmed to cover and protect the bone substitute and is gently inserted into the sulcus and secured by a cross-mattress suture.
4 months after extraction, complete healing and maturation of both soft and hard tissues is achieved.
