Hey guys! Question… how would you treat an early implant dehiscence? I ve tried placing them with gbr and membrane but i got dehiscence after 3 weeks (patient already left the country- I wasn t informed about that she wanted to leave). Where the incision line was, i can see my cover screws. I know that i shouldve grafted first with ctg to enchance the soft tissues but I took the risk. Unfortunately I cannot see the patient earlier than 6 months when she whill come back. I couldnt place them deep enough cause of the nerve. Had like 5-6 mm to the nerve and placed 8,5 fixtures. The photo is @ 3 weeks post op.

Hey Dragos. This is a case where you would try to do a ridge augmentation and try to get more bone and biology first and hopefully some more vertical bone height first to give you a higher percentage of success but as always there is never any guarantees but that would be more predictable for sure in a case like this and yes improving soft tissue can always help and improve blood supply and overall outcome as well.
