A fresh extraction site in the posterior maxilla was regenerated with the aim of an implant-supported restoration using fully synthetic biomaterials. In an open healing approach, permamem® was left exposed to the oral cavity for 21 days before removal. The re-entry six months post-surgery exposed a well vascularized bone tissue, which was sufficient in width and height for the placement of a dental implant. Altogether, the case demonstrates that synthetics can be a solution to achieve predicable bone regeneration in situations where an implant cannot be placed immediately.

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.
