Simultaneous approach with guided bone regeneration (GBR)

“Geistlich Fibro-Gide® is one of the best innovations for gaining soft-tissue thickness.”
Insufficient Soft-Tissue Thickness Extended Gap in the Posterior Mandible
Aim: Increasing the thickness of soft-tissue around dental implants with Geistlich Fibro-Gide® in the posterior area of the mandible to support protection and to restore function.
Conclusion: Geistlich Fibro-Gide® can be used as an alternative to connective tissue grafts (CTG) to signifi cantly
increase the soft-tissue thickness around dental implants.
Baseline before implant placement showing the soft-tissue deficiency.
Implant surgery after implant placement showing the need for GBR.
Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) with Geistlich Bio-Oss® and Geistlich Bio-Gide®.
Geistlich Fibro-Gide® was timmed to the defect size and placed at full thickness (6 mm) on top of Geistlich Bio-Gide®.
Wound closure (PTFE 5/0 sutures) by combining horizontal mattress sutures and single sutures in a double layer.
Re-entry was performed 3 months post-surgery. Soft-tissue emergence profile at the time of final ceramic-crown delivery 4 months after implant placement.
