- Abstract
The objective of this study was to report a clinical case of dental implant failure with significant bone loss that was treated using reconstructive surgical techniques. We present a 58-year-old man with a history of implant surgery and implant failure on the mandible. Data collected using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scans were exported into Exoplan (exocad GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany), from which a standard tessellation file was obtained. To create a customized mandible mesh design, DentalCAD 3.0 Galway software (exocad GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany) was used. Based on guided bone regeneration, the method involved bone reconstruction and the application of a custom titanium mesh. The bone mix was obtained by combining a xenograft (Cerabone, Bottis biomaterials Gmbh, Zossen, Germany), an allograft (Max Graft, granules Bottis biomaterials Gmbh, Zossen, Germany), and an autograft. The titanium meshes were fixed to the bone using self-drilling screws and covered with a resorbable membrane. Immediately after surgery, an impression was recorded, and the next day, the patient received a milled polymethyl methacrylate interim denture. Based on our case study, the presented custom-made implant can be considered a temporary solution, during which guided bone regeneration is expected to take place.
