Clinical Case Study: Horizontal Bone Augmentation

In this clinical case video, Dr. Francisco Marchesani showcases the advanced treatment of a 66-year-old male patient classified as ASA 1, who presented with a gingival fistula in the anterior teeth area. Dr. Marchesani extracted both central incisors and immediately installed implants, followed by a comprehensive horizontal guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedure, soft tissue improvement, and provisional placement. Achieving primary stability suitable for immediate function, Dr. Marchesani used OSSIX™ Bone cut into smaller pieces to fill the gap and perform horizontal bone augmentation. OSSIX® Volumax was then placed on the bone graft, allowing it to hydrate from the surgical bed's blood. Following this process, closure and provisionalization were completed. The clinical and radiographic follow-up after three years demonstrated excellent outcomes, showcasing the effectiveness of these advanced regenerative techniques.
