Guided Bone Regeneration using a Combination of Novel Biomaterial and Type I Collagen for Isolated Ridge Defect to facilitate Delayed Implant Therapy: A Solitary Case Report

Abstract

Introduction: Ridge augmentation has attained a key role in implant placement to recreate the natural contour of the hard and soft tissues that may have been lost as a consequence of extraction. Ridge augmentation procedures require bone to be regenerated outside the existing bony walls or housing and are therefore often considered to be one of the most challenging surgical procedures.
