DALI Acellular Dermis (ADM) is a great option for buccal contour augmentation around implants at the time of placement. Depending on the buccal bone thickness, it can be used with or without a bone graft.

In this video from the EAO, Dr. Gustavo Avila-Ortiz discusses the key considerations for effective management of an extraction site, including a deep-dive review of all aspects of alveolar ridge preservation.

Effective Management of an Extraction Site

In this video from the EAO, Dr. Ausra Ramanauskaite discusses current concepts for treating peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, including a review of adjunctive therapies, non-surgical treatment, and surgical approaches.

How predictable is it to graft the defect around this implant at the time of placement? The major factors I considered in this case were the presence of the implant within the bony housing and the quality of the soft tissue.

Grafting around implant at time of placement: predictable?

Following 6 weeks of healing, after using the DALI Flex Graft, we see nice healing and an obvious increase in the facial contour.

Following a GBR at the time of implant placement, a buccal ridge deficiency persisted. Instead of using graft particulate, we decided to use a flexible cortical sheet.

What some clinicians may view as a situation requiring a separate GBR procedure prior to implant placement, can often times be treated with implant placement in one surgical visit. This case will demonstrate this one-visit approach.

When this patient presented for treatment of hopeless #9, the degree of recession present was the major challenge. Due to the lack of tissue present, a bone regeneration procedure would be extremely challenging.

There are many factors that dictate the peri implant tissue contours and papilla fill. These include: bone levels, distance to the contact point, adequate tissue thickness, and a properly designed/contoured restoration.

Even when there is an extensive amount of bone loss around teeth planned for extraction, we can still employ immediate placement provided we follow biological and surgical principles that have been described in the literature.

In more challenging cases of bone regeneration, sometimes you need something extra to help facilitate healing. Recently, I have been reaching for Amnion Chorion membranes, which are rich in growth factors.

In some cases, a dermis soft tissue substitute is sometimes better than elevating an extensive flap to facilitate graft and membrane placement.
