- Title
Reconstruction of Sockets and Associated Maxillary Ridge Defect Using Suture Tenting, Synthetic Bone Graft, and Unique Macro Morphology Implants With an Immediately Loaded Provisional Bridge.

- Abstract
Immediate implant placement in the anterior maxilla remains complex, particularly when the labial cortical plate of the socket is deficient and there is an associated class IV ridge defect with both hard- and softtissue deficiencies. This case report describes a novel combination of polydioxanone (PDS) suture tenting to support a synthetic bone graft with simultaneous implant placement with implants featuring a body-shift design aiid suberestal internal angle correction. In addition, the implants were immediately loaded with a four-unit provisional bridge at the time of surgery, thus reducing morbidity, costs, and total treatment time.
