Crestal Bone Regeneration in Defective Bone Implants
ABSTRACT Implant placement in narrow alveolar bone ridges end with buccal bone dehiscence and implant thread exposure. In this conditions, bone graft need to be placed in a addition to the collagen membrane to cover the dehiscence with primary wound closure. This paper presents an implant case with a medical history of diabetic type II and smoker patient. Implant placed in narrow ridge and three coronal threads of the fixture exposed when the implant torque into the final position. After 3 months healing period, the implant site exposed with complete bone formation and coverage of the threads. From this case, one might conclude that: first the type of the implant surface may enhance bone formation, second the periosteum may contribute in the bone regeneration. Third the medical condition of the patient may has no local influence on the implant site. How to cite this article Aljuboori MJ, Saini R. Crestal Bone Regeneration in Defective Bone Implants.
