Fig. 3From: Guided bone regeneration in staged vertical and horizontal bone augmentation using platelet-rich fibrin associated with bone grafts: a retrospective clinical studyGBR procedure for horizontal bone increase in the anterior maxilla. a Tomographic measurement of the horizontal defect in the upper right central incisor region. b Clinical aspect of the horizontal defect in the anterior maxilla. c Mixture of particulate autogenous and ABBM grafts (in the proportion 1:1) agglutinated with i-PRF positioned in the horizontal defect and the initial fixation of the collagen membrane palate. d Collagen membrane covering the grafted material and fixed in the residual vestibular bone with thumbtacks. e Tomographic bone measure after 8 months of GBR. 9.7 mm of horizontal bone gain was achieved when comparing the baseline and final tomography. f Clinical view of the horizontal bone augmentation in the time of implant placementBack to article page
