Regeneration of premaxilla pre restoration
A critical factor in regenerating bone in the premaxilla is the restoration of facial esthetics. Please note that not only is the bone regenerated but the soft tissue facial profile is also restored. A restorative solution without bone regeneration may restore function but it will not restore facial esthetics.
Regeneration of premaxilla post restoration
Final periapical radiographs shows dense mineralization with minimal marginal bone changes.
What was a collapsed facial profile in now a pleasing smile with normal lip support.
Advantages of 3D printed bone regeneration by SteinerBio:
The ability to predetermine the shape and contour of the regenerated bone.
Compete resorption of the graft material with proven normal bone regeneration.
The combination of the 100% beta tricalcium phosphate 3D printed ridge and SteinerBio regenerative materials that stimulate bone formation produces normal bone with higher bone density and higher bone vitality.
Predictable accurate bone regeneration.
Over 10 years of continuous research:
SteinerBio is the only organization, academic or commercial, who has successfully developed a 3D printed bone graft that is a precise fit to the surgical site, is fully resorbed and produces normal bone for predictable implant integration.
This complex case showcases the predictability for any lateral ridge augmentation case. In addition we have made significant progress in vertical bone regeneration and have discovered factors that make for predicable vertical bone regeneration. We will be sharing those cases with you shortly.
