Clinical Case Video

Placement of Narrow Diameter Two-Piece Implants with Simultaneous GBR

Daniel Buser

Surgical treatment of a 68-year-old female patient with a distal extension situation in the left mandible. As the CBCT analysis reveals, the bone crest anatomy in the area is not ideal and necessitates an augmentation procedure to achieve a good long-term prognosis for the planned implants and their prostheses.

After the placement of three diameter-reduced two-piece implants the bone is augmented with autologous bone chips and DBBM particles to enlarge the crest volume. The surgery is completed with the application of two membrane layers and primary wound closure.

For soft tissue management, the initial healing caps are replaced with a longer type 8 weeks after implant placement in a second intervention before prosthodontic treatment is initiated.

The case concludes with the presentation of the final prostheses at the 3-year follow-up, demonstrating a stable and pleasing soft- and hard-tissue situation.

Produced in cooperation with CCDE and Video-Atelier Keel.

  • * General SAC assessment modifiers that are also part of the ERA. To avoid redundancy they are listed in this section even if no complete ERA has been made.

  • ** Not applicable to the ERA of immediate placement cases and replaced by "Socket Integrity" listed below under "Surgical SAC Classification". For all other placement types this value is a classification determinant and listed here even if no complete ERA has been made.
