Abstract

Deficient bone is an impediment for implant placement in many patients. In this case report a patient reported with missing teeth in mandibular left back teeth region. The alveolar bone was severely resorbed with reduced occlusal clearance making prosthetic restoration with implants impossible. The objective here was bone regeneration and placement of implants in the area for restoration of function. A resorbable collagen membrane along with mineralized freeze dried bone grafting was used to gain alveolar ridge. After seven months two implants were placed following the delayed protocol achieving a good primary stability. Implant uncovering was carried out after five months with placement of a gingival former. This was followed by placement of a 2-unit crown in Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) which helped the patient in mastication. Thus alveolar ridge regeneration followed by implant placement is a viable treatment option provided the clinical scenario is ideal.
