Pre-operative Observation
Preoperative view: Lateral augmentation was planned.
The ridge was exposed with a crestal incision.
Implant placement on site 46
1mm of CTi-spacer placed on #46 implant
B type of Cti-mem
Fixing screw
Auto Chip Maker (ACM)
The autogenous bone harvested with an ACM
The ridge was augmented using a combination of autogenous bone and xenograft (Bio-Oss) at 1:1 ratio. CTi-mem was placed over the graft using a fixing screw.
Buccal view
Primary closure achieved
Tissue healing at 4 months
Complete bone regeneration was observed following the Cti-spacer removal.
Uncovery was done for stage II surgery.
CTi-mem was removed and it was verified that new bone formation has been made on the buccal side.
Conclusion
GBR procedure was done using a CTi-mem over the graft. The graft was made of a combination of Bio-Oss and auto bone harvested with an Auto Chip Maker (ACM). The result of new bone formation was significant.
