Implant placement in the anterior region with simultaneous GBR –Surgery guided by

stereolithographic model

Dr.K.Varsha Rao

• The 3D rendition of the jaw helped to anticipate a fenestration with drilling .Appropriate size implant could be decided based on the trial drilling to ensure the entire length of the implant is in native bone.

• Freeze dried allograft was used for its osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties as the first layer.

• Xenograft was used for contour augmentation.• Resorbable collagen membrane was used instead of a non

resorbable titanium membrane or reinforced PTFE as only buccal augmentation was needed for this case.And to avoid second stage surgery.

• Platelet rich fibrin was used for increasing the soft tissue healing and vascularisation at the surgical site.

• Connective tissue graft was used to augment soft tissue.
