Placing dental implants in a patient with a history of severe periodontal disease requires a strict clinical approach. Tissue that has suffered bone loss from infection cannot be treated in a conventional manner; it demands a prior decontamination phase and careful analysis of tissue health.

The patient arrived at the clinic with the active infection controlled, but with noticeable side effects: mobility in several teeth and bone resorption that compromised bite stability.

3D CBCT Diagnosis and Surgical Bed Preparation

The most critical error when managing post-periodontitis cases is rushing into surgery without verifying the absence of residual inflammation. An unstable gum environment jeopardizes long-term implant integration.

Dr. Enmanuel Teixeira executed a deep cleaning protocol and 3D tomographic mapping to evaluate residual bone density and identify areas requiring guided bone regeneration.

Surgical Precision and Regenerative Biomaterials

After confirming overall periodontal stability, non-restorable teeth were extracted, and surface-treated titanium implants were placed to stimulate bone bonding.

(In the case video, you can see how regenerative biomaterials are placed to rebuild lost bone structure). This technique creates a solid foundation and prevents future complications around the implants.

Restoring Long-Term Function and Gum Health

The final crowns were designed with an emergence profile tailored to facilitate daily hygiene and prevent plaque accumulation. (See the before and after image below to confirm the healthy pink tone and firmness achieved in the tissue).
