The patient (woman, around 30 years) presented with severe pain in the lateral incisor and a deficient adhesive provisional. Bruxism resulted in canine loss and premature contact in the lateral incisor. The CBCT scan indicated advanced vertical bone loss. For augmentation cerabone® was mixed with autologous bone (ratio 1:1) and covered with Jason® membrane. Due to its high stability cerabone® provides optimal support of the newly formed bone. Jason® membrane is characterized by a long barrier function and high tear resistance. The clinical follow up after 3 and 4 years demonstrates an aesthetic and stable result.

The „Case Of The Month“ highlights every month a clinical case, which distinguished itself by the clinical results or the treatment concept in combination with the applied botiss biomaterials. The selection of the case is based on content relevance and quality of the documentation.
