  • cover image
  • CBCT scan of the initial situation displays horizontal bone deficiency of the alveolar ridge
  • Alveolar ridge after osteotomy preparation for a implant and cortical bone perforations
  • Implant placement. Note exposed implant threads and absence of the sufficient amount of buccal peri-implant bone
  • The Evolution membrane has been adapted and stabilised at the top with the cover screw of the secondary prosthetic platform
  • Mixture of the Gen-Os® a and autologous bone
  • Bone augmentation with Gen-Os®. Second layer of the Evolution membrane  (arrow). The flap design results in a periosteal pocket formation, which allows that the graft-membrane complex was covered with periosteum and  stabilised with periosteal sutures
  • Suturing
  • Second stage surgery. Situation after 5 months of healing.
