CLINICAL CASE

Alveolar ridge preservation with the Shield technique in the maxilla

Dr. Marko Blaskovic

The patient presented with a missing tooth in the mandibula , accompanied by bone atrophy at the extraction site. An immediate implant placement was performed, followed by guided bone regeneration (GBR) to restore the lost bone structure. To support the regeneration process, a NOVAMag® membrane was positioned on the buccal aspect and secured using two NOVAMag® fixation screws. Bone graft material (cerabone®) was placed to facilitate new bone formation and ensure adequate bone volume for implant stability. In addition, mucoderm® was sutured over the augmentation site to promote soft tissue regeneration, optimizing both the aesthetic and functional outcomes. Following a healing period of 6 months, the implant was successfully uncovered. A postoperative CBCT scan confirmed sufficient bone regeneration and a stable implant site, demonstrating a successful augmentation and implant placement with optimal bone volume and soft tissue coverage.
