Advanced approach:
Late implant placement
Late implant placement is a reliable and conventional treatment option in situations where bone regeneration is required. Geistlich biomaterials support the maintenance of the alveolar ridge for late implant placement by providing a foundation for the development of all necessary tissues1,2.

**Definition of an intact extraction socket varies among clinical experts and includes buccal bone defects of 0 to 50%.
Clinical case: Late implant placement with preserved bony buccal wall using Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® and Geistlich Mucograft® Seal.
Extraction of tooth 8 due to trauma with concomitant external resorption. Care was taken in preserving the alveolar bone.
Crestal view of the socket after tooth extraction. No flaps are raised around the affected area. A slight buccal bone defect was observed.
Filling of the extraction socket with Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® to the level of the palatal bone.
Suturing of Geistlich Mucograft® with 6-0 single-interrupted sutures.
Clinical case: Late implant placement with defect bony buccal wall using Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® and Geistlich Bio-Gide®.
Filling of the extraction socket up to the level of the crestal bone level using Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen®.
Placement of the Geistlich Bio-Gide® membrane over the defect.
Newly formed hard tissue 6 months post-op. Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® is not visible.
Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® and Geistlich Bio-Gide® membrane provide the new bone formation1 needed for adequate and safe implant placement.
