Flapless alveolar ridge reconstruction for an anterior site with severe bone defect for implant therapy: a case report

doi:10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.08.011

Abstract

Abstract: This case report presents a modified ridge preservation technique for the anterior site with severe bone defects after extraction. 9 months later, the implant was placed, during which temporary implant restorations were used to shape the gingiva, achieving good aesthetic results and stable function during follow-up. The diagnosis and treatment process and the results of this case suggest that this flapless alveolar ridge reconstruction technique is feasible, but further observation is needed for long-term effects.

Key words: Extraction site preservation, Implant placement, Bone augmentation
