Use of alloplastic bone graft in immediate implant placement with simultaneous contour augmentation – case report

Aim: The aim of this case report is clinical and
radiographical evaluation of the efficacy of alloplastic
bone graft in immediate implant placement with
simultaneous contour augmentation.
Case report: A 45-year-old male patient presented
with hopeless dentition in the lower jaw with
extensive damage to the tooth structure, periapical
lesions and bone loss. After atraumatic tooth
extractions, five implants were placed and defects
were filled with alloplastic bone graft. A submerged
implant placement was performed, allowing
undisturbed bone regeneration and minimizing the
risk of infection. After 6 months complete bone
regeneration was achieved, the implants were
exposed, and prosthetic phase started.
Discussion: Bone regeneration using alloplastic bone
graft offered a safe and effective treatment option
in immediate implant placement with simultaneous
contour augmentation. The regenerated bone was
sufficient to support the implants and the final
prosthetic solution.
