Dental implant installation simultaneously with Bio-Oss® and Mucograft® guided bone regeneration: case report

Abstract

Horizontally reduced jaws are frequent challenges for implant dentists. The decrease in bone volume is almost certain after traumatic extraction without alveolar preservation maneuvers. To solve this problem, dentistry in recent decades has been concerned with developing techniques of alveolar maintenance and sufficient bone volume return for the implantation of dental implants through grafts. One of the current advanced techniques of horizontal bone augmentation and conventional guided bone regeneration, one which is not the use of barrier membrane-associated grafts and bone substitutes. This technique has shown very predictability in scientific results and is considered a technique less sensitive to failures and complications associated with invasive grafts as automatic block. An guided bone regeneration can still be performed at the same time as implant installation maintains its high success rate. Therefore, this paper aims to report a case of guided bone regeneration using resorbable matrix (Mucograft®, Geistlich, São Paulo - Brazil) and bovine particulate bone (Bio-Oss®, Geistlich, São Paulo - Brazil) joint installation of osseointegrated implants in posterior mandible reduced in horizontal volume.
