Following the successful vertical bone regeneration, the next critical step was ensuring long-term stability through a FGG (Free Gingival Graft) to increase the width of keratinized gingiva.
Case breakdown:
Photo 1: Tissue status post-GBR with submerged implants. Volumetric stability achieved.
Photo 2: Soft tissue healing and maturation following the gingival graft. Aiming for resilient and stable tissue.
Photo 3: Uncovering stage. Note how the neoformed bone completely covers the implants, confirming the success of the vertical augmentation.
Photo 4: Occlusal view. Trans-epithelial abutments (multi-unit) surrounded by a robust band of keratinized tissue, providing a thick biotype to protect the implant-bone interface.
Photo 5: Radiographic evolution. From the initial 6mm to complete crestal bone stability.
