Patient History

Patient had a missing tooth #9 with hypermobility detected on the adjacent tooth #8. The condition was to be treated with an extraction of tooth #8 and bone grafting to preserve the socket and to add sufficient thickness to prepare for future implants.

Process & Conclusion

After extraction, tooth #8 socket was filled with SigmaOss® and the alveolar ridge with InterOss® before the area was wrapped with a collagen membrane. Re-entry at 7 months shows an absence of the socket and a healthy ridge suitable for implant installations.

Clinical review

Patient History

Patient had a missing tooth and another that required extraction due to a root fracture. An implant was prescribed for the former via crestal sinus lift and bone grafting for the latter to repair the damaged wall caused by the fracture; another implant was to be installed once the bone is restored.

Process & Conclusion

An implant was placed immediately after the sinus lift, using InterOss®, to replace the missing tooth, and the socket left by the fractured root was filled with InterOss® before wrapped with InterCollagen® Guide. Re-entry at 6 months showed newly formed bone, allowing for the additional implant.
