CASE OF THE MONTH 12/2022: Treatment of a maxillary cyst with cerabone® and Jason® membrane
Dr. Dario Mari A female adult patient was complaining about swelling and pain in the upper left maxilla. She could not even wear her denture. CBCT confirmed a huge cyst in the left cuspid area, but other minor cysts were present in other sites of the maxilla. After full thickness flap from molar to molar, the lesions were excised with a sharp surgical spoon to keep them as intact as possible. The residual bone cavities were curetted and rinsed with saline water and antibiotics [...]
CASE OF THE MONTH 11/2022: Sinus lift and lateral bone augmentation with cerabone® and maxgraft®
Dr. David Chávarri Prado Due to periodontal disease, the patient (65 years) had a failure of the fixed prosthesis in the second quadrant and presented with severe bone atrophy, both in height and width. A lateral sinus lift and simultaneous GBR were performed using a 50/50 mix of cerabone® and maxgraft® granules and PRGF. The augmented area was covered and stabilized with Jason® membrane, which has a naturally long barrier function and high tear resistance. Six months later, at the re-entry very good bone [...]
CASE OF THE MONTH 10/2022: Horizontal ridge augmentation with maxgraft® cortico, cerabone® and collprotect® membrane
Eleni Kapogianni A missing dentition in the mandible was reconstructed with maxgraft® cortico and cancellous allogenic granules. The site was covered with a collprotect® membrane and was re-entered after 5 months. Two implants were placed in area 44 and 46 and then covered with cerabone® for optimal volume stability and aesthetic outcome (Relining technique). The „Case Of The Month“ highlights every [...]
CASE OF THE MONTH 09/2022: Block augmentation in the aesthetic zone with maxgraft® and cerabone®
Dr. Frank Kloss After fracture of the left maxillary incisor and loss of buccal wall an extensive bone defect was reconstructed by onlay block grafting with a cancellous maxgraft® block and relining with cerabone® granules. Six months after augmentation successful implantation was performed and again covered with cerabone® for long-term stability of the gained horizontal width. The „Case Of The Month“ highlights every [...]
CASE OF THE MONTH 08/2022: Maxillary sinus cyst removal using the Crocodile Technique and subsequent lateral sinus lift with cerabone®, maxgraft® and Jason® membrane
Dr. Cristian Scognamiglio, Dr. Alessandro Perucchi After extraction of a severely compromised tooth 25, a maxillary sinus cyst with a size of 19 mm had to be removed before implantation and sinus floor elevation. For removal, a lateral sinus window was prepared, and the cystic content was aspirated through the membrane. The cyst was then retrieved through a cut in the Schneiderian membrane according to the Crocodile Technique. After suturing the perforation, the sinus membrane was protected with Jason® membrane which is a native [...]
CASE OF THE MONTH 07/2022: Excellent aesthetic result of buccal augmentation with mucoderm® and maxgraft® after immediate implant placement – 3-years follow-up
Dr. Algirdas Puišys After atraumatic tooth extraction the implant was immediately placed and the gap between buccal bone wall and implant was filled with cancellous maxgraft® granules. For soft tissue augmentation the collagen matrix mucoderm® was used: A subperiosteal buccal tunnel was prepared at the extraction site and mucoderm® was inserted and fixed by suturing. An excellent aesthetic outcome was achieved as also shown by the results in a clinical study published in 2022. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35324053/ [...]
CASE OF THE MONTH 06/2022: cerabone® and mucoderm® for immediate implantation in aesthetic area
Dr. Daniel Robles For an optimal aesthetic result, cerabone® and mucoderm® were used for hard and soft tissue augmentation during immediate implant placement in the front tooth region. The high volume stability of cerabone® ensures permanent support of the bone, while mucoderm® is a perfect collagen matrix for soft tissue thickening. The „Case Of The Month“ highlights every month [...]
CASE OF THE MONTH 05/2022: Socket Preservation with maxresorb® and mucoderm®
Dr. Massimo Frosecchi maxresorb® is a synthetic bone substitute with excellent handling characteristics. Due to its biphasic composition, it promotes bone formation while supporting stability of the augmented area. In a lot of indications it is a valid alternative to xenografts, but avoids ethical or religious conflicts. In the shown case maxresorb® was used in combination with the soft tissue graft mucoderm® for socket preservation. The case shows good bone and soft tissue healing. [...]
CASE OF THE MONTH 04/2022: Horizontal ridge augmentation with permamem®, cerabone® and autologous bone chips
Dr. Stavros Pelekanos Great bone regeneration was achieved after horizontal ridge augmentation using permamem®, cerabone® and autologous bone chips. permamem® is a synthetic membrane with superior space maintaining properties compared to collagen membranes. Due to its dense structure and smooth surface, soft tissue attaches only superficially which makes it easy to remove the membrane after healing. The „Case Of The Month“ highlights every month a clinical case, which distinguished [...]
CASE OF THE MONTH 03/2022: GBR with simultaneous implant placement and widening of KM with mucoderm®
Dr. Marko Blašković Eight weeks after tooth extraction GBR was performed with simultaneous implant placement. The combination of cerabone® with autologous bone and Jason® membrane led to a beautiful restoration of the missing bone volume. Additionally, broadening of the keratinized mucosa was required but the patient refused to undergo a FGG grafting procedure. Thanks to mucoderm® (acellular dermal collagen matrix) the treatment was carried out successfully and a greater width of keratinized mucosa was achieved. [...]
CASE OF THE MONTH 02/2022: Ridge augmentation in the mandible with maxgraft® bonebuilder
Dr. Reto Morger A 44-year-old female patient presented for implant-prosthetic treatment in the third and fourth quadrant. Since the area had not been restored for more than 20 years, an extensive horizontal and vertical augmentation was required prior to implant placement. The mandible bone was reconstructed using two maxgraft® bonebuilder blocks. The customized allogenic bone blocks fitted perfectly and were covered with a Jason® membrane. After 6 months healing time implants were installed at position 35/36 and 46. 1 year follow up shows good stable [...]
CASE OF THE MONTH 01/2022: Immediate implant placement in the maxilla with contour GBR
Dr. Konstantinos Loukas In this clinical case a combination of cerabone® and autologous bone chips was used to fill the gap between implant and socket wall and to contour the ridge. The high volume stability of cerabone® makes it the ideal choice in the aesthetic area. The „Case Of The Month“ highlights every month a clinical case, which distinguished itself by the clinical results or the treatment concept [...]
