Resumo

Objective: Maintenance of adequate interproximal tissue height between an implant and a natural tooth or between adjacent implants represents an esthetic challenge in implant dentistry. The aim of this case report is to describe a modified technique referred to as the beyond the gap filling (BGF) approach designed to improve the horizontal and vertical components of the facial aspect and particularly the height of interproximal bone peaks around immediately placed implants into fresh extraction sockets. Clinical Considerations: Four patients (five teeth) requiring anterior tooth extraction were treated with the BGF approach that included: (a) minimally traumatic tooth extraction; (b) immediate implant placement without flap elevation; (c) installation of a narrow profile healing abutment to protect the implant during grafting; (d) grafting with a construct with 90% bovine bone granules and 10% porcine collagen packed coronally to the facial and interproximal bone walls above the level of the bone crest; and (e) delivery of an immediate restoration. Conclusions: The current report suggests that the level/height of the interproximal bone crests between an implant and a natural tooth or between two adjacent implants can be improved by the BGF approach and, consequently, papilla height can be maintained in cases with a high risk of papilla height collapse and, consequently, esthetic outcomes can be maximized. Clinical Significance: The BGF is a simple technique to be used by clinicians to prevent significant papilla collapse in anterior immediate implants and consequently achieve maximum esthetic outcomes in implant dentistry.
