Ridge reconstruction before implant placement

Dr. Federico Rivara · Italy · October 25, 2023

"After the extraction, I realized that the buccal wall was missing and I had to leave the membrane exposed. The regenerative potential of the site could be poor, so I decided to boost the biomaterials’ effect with polynucleotides and hyaluronic acid."

The Situation

The patient (45 years old, female, non-smoker, no previous pathologies) is referred for extraction of tooth 45 and immediate implant placement. The site showed an increased probing depth and a marked bone loss.
