Implant site development using titanium plate and platelet-rich fibrin for congenitally missed maxillary lateral incisors: A case report

Figure 1 Flow chart timeline of the treatment plan.

Figure 2 Cone-beam computed tomography revealed considerable alveolar bone loss.

Figure 3 The surgical procedure. A: The implant was placed at the recipient cite #12 after the labial bone plate displacement; B: A T-type titanium plate was used to fix the bone block; C: The mixture of bone grafts and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) clot covered the T-type titanium plate and the socket walls; D: Resorbable membrane covered the bone grafts; E: PRF membrane covered the resorbable membrane and alveolar crest; F: The wound was non-tightly sutured.

Figure 4 Intraoral condition at the 15 d follow-up visit: The vascularization of soft tissue was visible.

Figure 5 Second stage surgery. A: The implant was surrounded by bone and the titanium plate was covered by the new bone; B: The incision was non-tightly sutured.

Figure 6 The definitive restoration.

Figure 7 Assessments at 1 year after surgery. A-C: Intraoral condition; D: Cone-beam computed tomography image showing the stable bone around implant.
