Regenerative implant foundations
Bone Regeneration Before Implants
Horizontal and three-dimensional bone regeneration designed to rebuild implant foundations when bone volume is insufficient for ideal implant placement.
Regenerative implant foundations
Surgery is designed before the surgical appointment begins.
Designed for
Insufficient ridge width before implant placement
Bone defects after infection or tooth loss
Sites requiring guided bone regeneration
Implant positions that need improved bone support
Planning records
CBCT-based defect analysis
Implant position planned relative to prosthetic and bone requirements
Assessment of soft tissue closure and healing risk
Decision between simultaneous or staged implant placement
Clinical sequence
How this treatment is approached.
Diagnosis
Bone loss after infection, extraction, trauma or failed implants can prevent implants from being positioned in the correct restorative and biological location.
Surgical approach
Guided bone regeneration using selected membranes and graft materials Autogenous bone chips, allograft or xenograft combinations when indicated Tension-free soft tissue closure and staged healing protocols Implant placement when bone regeneration has created a suitable foundation
Digital advantage
CBCT allows three-dimensional understanding of the defect Digital planning defines the bone volume required around the future implant Guide design can be integrated when implant placement is planned at the same or later stage
Technology and materials
Selected bone graft materials according to defect morphology Resorbable or non-resorbable membranes when indicated Premium implant systems including Straumann when clinically suitable Digital guide splints for implant placement when appropriate
Digital workflow value

Important limitations
Precision requires honesty.
Premium surgical planning improves clarity, but treatment suitability and outcome depend on diagnosis, anatomy, tissue quality, healing response and clinical execution.
Limitations to respect
Bone regeneration requires healing time and may need staged treatment
Infection, smoking, thin soft tissue and medical factors can affect predictability
Some vertical or severe defects require more advanced protocols
Patient pathway
Send X-rays or CBCT if available
Receive guidance on whether additional 3D imaging is required

Treatment suitability and outcomes vary according to anatomy, health status, diagnosis, healing response, compliance, and other clinical factors.

Complex cases often combine several disciplines.
Advanced bone reconstruction
Vertical regeneration
Advanced vertical ridge augmentation for cases where bone height is insufficient for implant placement and a more complex staged reconstruction is needed.
