A recent case report in Perio Update showcases a staged guided bone regeneration (GBR) approach using a composite graft and rh-PDGF to overcome a severe ridge defect, achieving an impressive 10 mm horizontal bone gain without harvesting…

Severe trauma left a patient missing central incisors and facing a complex horizontal and vertical ridge defect. Through precision-guided bone regeneration and staged implant placement, both form and function were restored with results…

Recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB is revolutionizing bone regeneration by enhancing cellular activity and accelerating tissue repair. This powerful biologic shows impressive results when paired with grafting materials,…

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) has evolved into a reliable solution for complex ridge augmentation, even in challenging knife-edge cases. While autogenous bone remains a gold standard, emerging evidence shows comparable outcomes with…

A novel case report highlights the potential of recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor with allograft material in managing retrograde peri-implantitis. While biofilm removal remains a challenge, this approach demonstrates…

An 81-year-old patient with well-controlled type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease presented with late implant complications, including peri-implant infection and pocketing. A surgical approach combining guided bone regeneration and…

Retrograde peri-implantitis presents a rare but challenging complication in implant dentistry. Learn about its potential causes, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies, including the role of growth factors like rh-PDGF in promoting…
