Early Implant Placement with Simultaneous Contour Augmentation using GBR
Surgical treatment of a 32-year old, healthy and non-smoking female who required removal and replacement of a lateral maxillary incisor due to internal root resorption. The inflammatory process caused a reduction of the crestal bone level on the distal side of the tooth necessitating an augmentation procedure to meet the patient's high esthetic demands. Due to the high smile line, the thin soft-tissue biotype and triangular-shaped teeth several esthetic risk factors are present.
After flapless tooth removal and a healing period of 6 weeks a diameter-reduced two-piece implant is placed. The bone defect on the facial aspect is corrected with a contour augmentation using autologous bone chips covered with DBBM particles and a collagen membrane according to the Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) approach.
Produced in cooperation with CCDE and Video-Atelier Keel.

* General SAC assessment modifiers that are also part of the ERA. To avoid redundancy they are listed in this section even if no complete ERA has been made.
** Not applicable to the ERA of immediate placement cases and replaced by "Socket Integrity" listed below under "Surgical SAC Classification". For all other placement types this value is a classification determinant and listed here even if no complete ERA has been made.
