Ridge Augmentation Prior to Implant Placement
Bone grafting to rebuild ridge width and volume ahead of implant placement.
Case detail below is a placeholder pending Dr Zafar's own notes for this case.
Treatment Summary
- Treatment
- Bone Grafting
- Presentation
- Horizontal ridge deficiency following earlier tooth loss, leaving insufficient bone width for implant placement in the planned position.
- Procedure
- Guided bone regeneration using a particulate graft under a resorbable membrane, with tension-free primary closure.
- Materials
- Xenograft particulate with a resorbable collagen membrane.
- Healing & review
- Undisturbed healing for 6 months before re-entry and implant placement.
- Outcome
- Sufficient ridge width regenerated to place the implant in a prosthetically driven position.
