Case by Dr. Vicent Jeannin, Orange, France
Geistlich Bio-Oss® Collagen is inserted without compression and covered by Geistlich Bio-Gide®. The membrane is inserted labially and palatinally subperiosteal.
The use of a bone substitute under a pontic preserves the alveolar ridge, improving outcome and aesthetics1.
