Advanced approach:
Delayed implant placement
Delayed implant placement is associated with good quality bone that is fully functional at time of implant placement.
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.
CAUTION: Federal law restricts these devices to sale by or on the order of a dentist or physician.
