Complex Dental Implants Treatment Completed

Our patient presented to Dr Esteban at Manor Dental Care in Manchester with a failed root canal-treated tooth at 21 (upper left central incisor), associated with significant alveolar bone loss.

The extent of the defect rendered the site unsuitable for dental implant placement, meaning that a carefully planned, staged approach was required to give the patient the best possible foundation for a successful outcome.

Consequently, a block bone grafting procedure was undertaken. Autogenous bone was harvested from a mandibular donor site and carefully contoured to adapt to the recipient defect, providing structural support and containment. The defect was further augmented with particulate bone graft material. This meticulous approach focused on rebuilding the lost bone and creating the conditions needed for future implant placement.

The grafted site was allowed to heal for three months, after which dental implants were placed. A temporary crown was also provided as part of the restorative treatment, helping to maintain the appearance of the smile while the implant site continued to heal. A subsequent healing period of approximately 4.5 months was observed to allow for osseointegration, soft tissue management and mucogingival maturation prior to definitive prosthetic rehabilitation of the site.
