3D Bone and Periodontal Regeneration, beyond de limits accepted by Scientific Literature, in the Esthetic Zone using the "Casket" Technique
Clinical studies have stated that the limit of the vertical bone regeneration is the interproximal bone peaks of the teeth adjacent to the defect (Tinti 1996, Simion 1994).& nbsp;
Man, 22 years old, non-smoker, presenting palatal abcess, pain, two buccal fistulas, and horizontal root fracture at upper left central incisor level due to trauma. After antibiotic premedication (2 grs. of amoxicylin 1 hour before) extraction was carried out. After extraction it was seen that there was no bone at palatal, buccal and distal level presenting a defect that had destroyed the mesial bone at lateral incisor level. Due to that bone loss it was decided to seal the socket with a connective tissue graft. 3 months later a 3D bone regenerative surgery was performed and 9 months later an Astra Tech Dentsply implant was placed. One year after final Crown delivery the clinical and radiographic aspect was adequate.
