Turned Implants in Vertical Augmented Bone: A Retrospective Study with 13 to 21 Years Follow-Up.

The aim of this retrospective clinical trial was to evaluate the performance of 91 turned implants placed in vertically augmented ridges in 33 patients by means of guided bone regeneration techniques after a mean follow-up of 15 years. A total of 88 implants were in function (97% survival rate), whereas 9 showed peri-implantitis (9.9%).

The Association of Guided Bone Regeneration and Enamel Matrix Derivative for Suprabony Reconstruction in the Esthetic Area: A Case Report.

This case report presents the correction of severe alveolar ridge atrophy due to congenital and iatrogenic factors. Implants that compromised the natural adjacent teeth and overall esthetics for this young patient were removed and replaced after significant vertical bone and soft tissue regenerative procedures. A treatment combination of bone graft particles, a nonresorbable membrane, and enamel matrix derivatives was used.
