Fig. 4From: The allogeneic shell technique for alveolar ridge augmentation: a multicenter case series and experiences of more than 300 casesAlveolar ridge augmentation of the anterior maxilla. A Initial intraoperative situation with an extended alveolar defect of the anterior alveolar jaw. Two allogeneic cortical bone plates were fixed by fixation screws. B Intraoperative situation after filling the defect with allogeneic spongious granules. C Covering the augmented area with a porcine collagen membrane. D Implant placement 4 months later. E Overlining with xenogeneic bone graft to preserve the volume of the augmented area. F X-ray demonstrating inserted implantsBack to article page
