Simultaneous Implant Placement and Guided Bone Regeneration Using Freeze-Dried Bone Allograft and Amnion–Chorion Membrane for Post-traumatic Anterior Maxillary Bone Dehiscence: A Case Report
Year: 2026
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Implant placement in the aesthetic zone is challenging due to enhanced patient demands and potential bone deficiencies. Bone loss in this area is often due to trauma and periodontal disease, which complicates implant placement. A patient presented with missing upper anterior teeth and significant bone loss following trauma from a road accident. Clinical and radiographic evaluations were carried out using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) that indicated bone dehiscence and inadequate bone for implant. After a thorough case study, a treatment plan was made, involving placement of dental implants with simultaneous guided bone regeneration around the implants using freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) and amnion chorion membrane to enhance osseointegration and restore the ridge, thereby supporting the patient's functional and aesthetic needs. Bone grafting using FDBA combined with amnion chorion membrane around implants can be successfully employed in cases of bone dehiscence. Simultaneously, meticulous planning and substantial execution can provide promising results.
