Ridge argmentation following extraction of replanted central incisor / Aumento da crista ossea após reimplante de incisivo central

ABSTRACT

Regeneration of bone defects remains a clinically important problem in many instances. This paper reports on the use of membrane technique combined with decalcified freezedried bone allograft to promote bone formation after extraction of a replanted central incisor with extensive root resorption. The procedure prevented ridge reduction, both buccolingually and apicocoronally, and will facilitate prosthetic replacement of the lost tooth without esthetic problems
