Dreidimensionale allogene Knochenaugmentation in Schalentechnik
CASE REPORT Dreidimensionale allogene Knochenaugmentation in Schalentechnik Ein Fallbericht von Dr. Robert Würdinger In dem Fallbericht ist die Verwendung von allogenen Knochenplatten (maxgraft® cortico) in der Schalentechnik für eine komplexe dreidimensionale Knochenaugmentation beschrieben. Der Spaltraum wurde mit einer Mischung aus allogenen (maxgraft®) und autologen Knochenpartikeln aufgefüllt. Nach 4 Monaten konnte bei einer stabilen Knochen- und Weichgewebssituation implantiert werden. Bei fehlendem Knochenangebot zählt die Augmentation von Hartgewebe mit Knochenersatzmaterialien allogenen, autologen, xenogenen oder alloplastischen Ursprungs zu einem zentralen Erfolgsfaktor in der Implantologie. Allografts genießen bei dem Patienten eine inzwischen höhere Akzeptanz. Gegenüber den autologen Materialien bleibt dem Patienten bei dem Einsatz von Allografts eine Komorbidität der Entnahmestelle erspart und er wird dadurch weniger belastet. Begleitkomplikationen können bei der Entnahme verhindert werden, und darüber hinaus sind allogene Materialien unbegrenzt verfügbar. Der hier vorgestellte Fall beschreibt eine kombinierte horizontale und vertikale 3D-Knochenaugmentation in Schalentechnik mit allogenen Kortikalisplatten, allogener Spongiosa und aus der Umgebung gewonnenen autologen Knochenspänen.

Guided bone regeneration using layering technique in the aesthetic zone
CASE REPORT Guided bone regeneration using layering technique in the aesthetic zone This case report describes the successful use of the layering technique with maxgraft® granules and cerabone® for guided bone regeneration (GBR) in the frontal maxilla. This technique was used to gain native bone around the implant and, at the same time, prevent resorption and obtain a positive aesthetic outcome in the long term through the slow resorbable properties of cerabone®. Initial situation A 68-year-old patient was referred from a colleague who already had to extract tooth #21 due to a failing post crown with cracked root. The patient is fit and healthy, not taking any medications, a non-smoker and with good oral hygiene. The missing front tooth site was left to heal for two months (Fig. 1). The occlusal view of the missing #21 showed severe buccal bone loss, which was even more visible after the flap was opened (Figs. 2-3).

Guided Surgery for Bone Ring Technique
CASE REPORT Guided Surgery for Bone Ring Technique A clinical case report by Vasilios Alevizakos, Ahmed Mohamed Othman, Constantin von See, Austria In totally and partially edentulous patients, implant placement and alveolar bone augmentation is a treatment that is considered to be very feasible and predictable in prosthetic rehabilitation1. Good clinical prognosis is due to the use not only of new materials but also of new technology, which aids the surgeon in providing the most accurate and precise treatment. The implant template is considered to be of clinical value, and can improve the accuracy of implantation and subsequently that of the overall implant solution2, 3. Different bone grafts are available depending on the amount of bone deficiency and the bone augmentation volume needed4-8. Bone grafts vary in nature, and can be autogenous, allogenic, xenogeneic, or alloplastic7. Allogenic bone grafts spare the patient from donor site morbidity and are known for their osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties.

Hard tissue augmentation using an allogenic bone block: a clinical case report
CASE REPORT Hard tissue augmentation using an allogenic bone block: a clinical case report The high clinical survival rates has led to the fact that dental implants are often the treatment of choice for the treatment of single tooth gaps in the posterior region, where more minimally invasive and adhesive restorations are not indicated1. Unfortunately, severely atrophied alveolar crests are frequently observed after traumatic extraction of teeth, resulting in a lack of bone which may complicate the implant placement2. In such situations, an autologous bone block grafting procedure may be considered the golden standard of care, with high survival rates of both the bone block as well as the implants placed into it3.

Horizontal ridge augmentation and implantation in the mandible using a Customized Allogenic Bone Block with BLX implants
CASE REPORT Horizontal ridge augmentation and implantation in the mandible using a Customized Allogenic Bone Block with BLX implants Orcan Yüksel Atrophy of the mandibular bone caused by premature tooth loss due to periodontal or endodontic problems can often be found in posterior areas. Problems associated with implantation in these cases often arise due to limited bone height or width of the mandible, and several treatment options have been suggested to gain enough bone for a stable implantation and achieve an esthetically good result.1 In clinical practice, freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) blocks have been used for alveolar ridge augmentation with promising results, offering patients a less-invasive treatment alternative to autogenous bone blocks, with no donor site morbidity and no second surgical site.2,3,4 Nowadays, customized allogenic bone blocks can be produced using the computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, enabling a shorter surgery time as manual block adjustment during surgery becomes unnecessary, thus enhancing patient comfort.5,6

Ice Cream Cone Technique with permamem®
CASE REPORT Ice Cream Cone Technique with permamem® Initial Situation A 66 year old healthy female patient presented at the dental office (no periodontal disease, non-smoker). On the 2nd of February 2021 a vertically fractured tooth number 2.5 (Figure 1) was diagnosed. A CBCT confirmed the clinical diagnosis. In addition, loss of the buccal plate was evident on the x-ray (Figure 2). Treatment Planning Based on the clinical diagnosis the decision was made to extract the unrestorable tooth and a socket preservation technique, i.e. Ice Cream Cone Technique (Elian et al. 2007), was proposed to the patient in order to recreate the missing bone and avoid the triangular aspect of the alveolus at the time of implant insertion.

Immediate implant placement and function in the esthetic zone with a Straumann® BLX implant
CASE REPORT Immediate implant placement and function in the esthetic zone with a Straumann® BLX implant This case describes a successful treatment outcome of a hopeless tooth in the esthetic zone with thin gingival biotype using the Straumann® BLX Implant System, botiss cerabone® and botiss mucoderm®. Introduction Reaching and maintaining optimal gingival esthetics around implants in the anterior region is a challenging task. One of the main characteristics of immediate implant placement and provisionalization is its effectiveness in the esthetic outcome, preserving the existing bone and gingival architecture. Adequate primary stability is a prerequisite to enable this type of treatment. The implant design plays an important role in this context. According to recent clinical trials, the new Straumann® BLX implant offers the ideal properties for these clinical situations. At the same time, the SLActive® surface has an impact on the early osseointegration of immediately restored implants.

CASE REPORT Implant-prosthetic rehabilitation using individualized allogeneic bone blocks for bone defects caused by peri-implantitis Dr. Alice Josephine Müller, Simon Perez, Dr. Frank-Peter Strietzel Dtsch Zahnärztl Z Int 2020, 2, 8–13 https://www.online-dzz.com/archive/issue/article/dzzint-1-2020/5449-103238-dzz-int20200008-0013-implant-prosthetic-rehabilitation-using-individualized-allogenei/ This case report demonstrates the functional and esthetic reconstruction of a severe bone defect after peri-implantitis and periodontitis in the mandibular. **Introduction:**Implant-prosthetic rehabilitation after previous implant loss due to peri-implantitis and periodontitis is considered to be challenging and risky, as the remaining alveolar process defects are often extensive and may also affect neighboring regions. A 68-year-old female patient with advanced peri-implantitis in region 44 and a severely atrophied alveolar ridge in region 32–41 requested a new fixed implant-prosthetic restoration of the lower jaw. The patient had an inconspicuous general medical history and previous periodontitis therapy had been performed. Subsequent to explantation at site 44, pronounced horizontal and vertical defects of the alveolar ridge in region 44 to 46 and in region 32 to 41 were identified both clinically and using 3D radiographic imaging (cone-beam computed tomography, CBCT). Prior to implant planning, the status of peri-implantitis and periodontitis was re-evaluated, as there was a suspicion of residual cement-associated peri-implantitis, which could have resulted in implant loss.

Predictable horizontal ridge augmentation and soft tissue thickening using an allogenic bone strut and a porcine collagen membrane
CASE REPORT Predictable horizontal ridge augmentation and soft tissue thickening using an allogenic bone strut and a porcine collagen membrane Sebastian Stavar Initial situation A 66-year old female, non-smoker in good general health, presented with missing teeth in sites 36, 45 and 46, which were extracted due to caries and fracturing. While the missing teeth in sites 36, 45 and 46 were initially restored with bridges, the patient wished for a fixed implant-supported prosthetic restoration in sites 45 and 46, due to a failure of the bridge. However, a pronounced loss of bone tissue in the posterior mandible (Cawood and Howell Class III), especially concerning the buccal wall, was observable at the initial assessment and further confirmed by radiographic imaging, so that direct implant placement was impossible (Figs. 1-3).5 The thin soft tissue in the region concerned posed an additional problem for proper treatment and aesthetic rehabilitation (Fig. 2).
