This is a photo from before the upper right implant was placed in 2003. At that time, there was no CT scan available, and due to limited remaining bone volume, bone grafting was performed before implant placement. This year, the patient is a 65-year-old woman. This is a photo of the patient undergoing a Windows app procedure. Bio-Oss was used for bone grafting in this case. This is a photo taken after the surgery. Approximately 5 months later, the implant was placed, and the prosthesis was completed. In 2007 In 2008 In 2009 It's 2009 too.

Mobility of bilateral central incisors

The patient is a 44-year-old female with mobility of both central incisors, indicating the need for implants. Implants were placed in both central incisor areas due to thin bone in the lateral incisor region on both sides.  A total of four implants were placed to support the planned prosthetic restoration. Here is the immediate implant placement in the areas of tooth #11 Here is the immediate implant placement in the areas of tooth #21 I paid special attention to the path, considering the anticipation of a screw-type restoration in the future. I performed bone grafting in the gap area. I performed contouring augmentation in both lateral incisor areas. Here is the photo immediately after the surgery. Here is the photo after the final restoration. Before. After
