Bone regeneration around bicortical implants.
This patient was told he had to undergo bone regeneration/graft before having his lateral incisor replaced with an implant. Further, he would have to have tooth 48 removed. As he came to my office and asked for minimally invasive solution I decided to perform immediate post-extraction implant placement with immediate loading and hemissection of 48 to achieve full rehabilitation with bridge (on patient request). I hadn't seen this patient for 4 years until the day when he brought his wife for a procedure. It was for years without any dentists control. In spite of that we can observe spectacular bone regeneration. This is why periimplantitis never occures in bicortical implantology...
