Surgery by Michael Kristensen
Dr. Michael Kristensen performs a bone augmentation in the aesthetic zone of the maxilla using a customized allogenic bone block (maxgraft® bonebuilder). Following presentation of the bone defect, the allogenic bone block is fixed with screws for osteosynthesis and an enamel matrix derivative (Straumann® Emdogain®) is applied. A barrier membrane (Jason® membrane) is used to cover the augmented site for Guided Bone Regeneration. For a good clinical outcome, proper soft tissue mobilization and tension-free, saliva-proof wound closure are essential.
Dr. Michael Kristensen, D.D.S is a dentist with focus on implantology, prosthetics, orthodontics and endodontics with two private practices in Aarhus, Denmark. He completed a postgraduate education curriculum in Implantology at the Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany and is an active Member of the Danish Society for Oral Implantology.
maxgraft® bonebuilder is a customized allogenic bone block for two-stage alveolar ridge augmentation. Based on CT/CBCT scans of the patient, the bone block is virtually designed using the latest 3D-CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) technology. The individual design provides an optimal fit between local bone and graft, enabling rapid revascularization and fast graft incorporation. ([ Ссылка ])
Straumann® Emdogain® is a well-researched, easy-to-apply gel containing enamel matrix derivative which can be used to support wound healing. ([ Ссылка ])
Jason® membrane is a native collagen membrane obtained from porcine pericardium, developed and manufactured for dental tissue regeneration. It is very thin and provides a naturally long barrier function based on the specific composition and structure of the pericardial collagen fibres, making the Jason® membrane our recommended choice particularly for large augmentative procedures.

In clinical practice, the application of allogenic blocks has been established as a reliable alternative to autogenous bone blocks for alveolar ridge augmentation to avoid donor site morbidity and limitations in material quantity or as an alternative treatment if previous surgery has failed.
