Ridge Preservation and 3D Augmentation Following Failed Implant Removal
A two-step augmentation approach after failed implant removal:
- Ridge preservation at the time of implant extraction.
- 3D ridge augmentation (vertical and horizontal) using an autologous onlay bone block graft.

About this video
This case involves the removal and replacement of failed implants in the left maxillary central and lateral incisors. Without ridge preservation at the time of extraction, significant hard and soft tissue volume loss may occur, complicating future augmentation. To optimize outcomes, the treatment plan includes:
- Immediate ridge preservation at the time of failed implant removal with xenograft material saturated in PRP covered with PPP and resorbable membrane.
- 3D ridge augmentation (vertical and horizontal) using autologous onlay bone block grafts harvested from the mandibular ramus.
- Application of blood-derived materials (PRP and PPP) during both stages to enhance healing and graft integration.
Six months later, implants were placed with connective tissue graft harvested from the palate.
