This clinical case presents the rehabilitation of an extraction site following the loss of tooth 11 due to a vertical root fracture (VRF). A pre-operative CBCT scan was performed to assess the bone condition and plan the surgical approach. After tooth extraction, a surgical flap was elevated to allow precise implant placement.

To compensate for bone loss and support regeneration, bone augmentation was performed using a mixture of FDBA and xenograft. NOVAMag^® SHIELD was folded over the defect for stabilization. The site was then secured with sutures to ensure proper healing. A follow-up evaluation at six months confirmed successful healing and implant integration, demonstrating the effectiveness of the guided bone regeneration approach.
