Khoury Plate Technique & Connective Tissue Graft

Case Study 5

CASE DESCRIPTION:

The patient presented with a failed central incisor in the mandible, resulting in both vertical and horizontal bone defects after the removal of the root.

Dr. Nik utilized the advanced Khoury Plate technique for bone regeneration, demonstrating exceptional surgical precision. A block from the ramus was harvested, then carefully particulated into a thin 1mm cortical plate and autogenous bone particles.

The cortical plate was securely fixed to the residual ridge with screws, while the autogenous bone particles were placed in the bone defect to facilitate optimal healing and regeneration. After only 4 months of smooth, uneventful healing, Dr. Nik placed a Conelog Progressive implant from Biohorizons. To enhance soft tissue thickness and ensure long-term stability, Dr. Nik also performed a connective tissue graft from the tuberosity.

This case highlights Dr. Nik's expertise in complex bone regeneration, implant placement, and soft tissue management, making him an ideal choice for referrals or mentorship in challenging implant cases requiring advanced regenerative techniques.
