This case highlights the removal of three large cysts, with apicoectomy and filling of the defect.

The patient returned for an unscrewing of the crown of #37 (18), which induced an occlusal trauma. This ultimately led to peri-implantitis trauma.

The patient is a 35 year old female, non-smoker and generally healthy. She came to my clinic with an aesthetical problem with the crown on the implant in positioning #44 (28). Implant was inserted in wrong position (too much vestibular) from the alveolar ridge, and crown was unacceptable for the patient. Treatment Planning included extraction, implant and GBR procedure using Bond Apatite®. Insertion new implant (BICON) and anchorage of the new crown.

After performing the intra-oral evaluation/complementary exams, it was understood that the remaining teeth and root had no resistance for a new bridge, and the root of tooth #21 (9) was already quite fragile and destroyed. It was also found that the bone area of ​​teeth #11 (8) and #22 (10) had great horizontal bone loss and lack of keratinized soft tissue. It was decided to undergo treatment in several surgeries.

Implant placement in maxillary. The remaining teeth of the mandible are extracted, followed by ridge preservation and immediate implant placement.

The patient presented with swelling and pain in the apical area of ​​teeth #21 (9) and #22 (10). Additional exams confirmed an apical lesion in both teeth.

he patient came with a cyst in the upper, right maxilla. The cyst was removed and apicoectomy performed. The defect was filled using Augma Bond Apatite and a wound dressing was placed to help protect the sutures from the oral environment.

The patient presents with a fistula on apical part of tooth #22 (10). The patient complained of pain in the area. The radiographic examination showed an apical lesion on the apex of #21 (9) & #22 (10).

Healthy male, 47 years old. The inflammatory changes (radicular cyst) are not involved after 3 months post re-endodontic treatment using microscopy. He has pain and discomfort from time to time. We have done a root resection of tooth #36 (19) with backfill of the root canal with the MTA, cyst enucleation (confirmed with histopathology examination). We filled the bone defect with Bond Apatite® (1/2 cc).

(11), #24 (12), and #25 (13) are to be extracted at the same time. The flap will not be sufficient to cover the Bond Apatite, so Augma Shield™ was used to cover the exposed material.

The patient came for implants in the right and left central incisors. Upon opening a defect was discovered. Implants were placed and augmentation was done with Bond Apatite®

A 60 years old. Came in to consult for implant treatment from tooth #23 (11) to #27 (15). Scans showed a large bone deficiency in close proximity to the sinus floor.

30 year old patient presents with pain from an infection in tooth #11 (8) and the decay of tooth #21 (9) beneath the crown.

The treatment will be done in stages. First, the failing central incisors will be extracted. The narrow ridge in the area of the lateral augmentation will be prepared with decortication and augmentation done using Bond Apatite.

The patient had no maxillary teeth and very few teeth left in the mandible. The patient also had a large periodontal lesion on tooth #48 (32). The patient had a very difficult time chewing, and she wanted to laugh freely for the first time in many years and increase her self-esteem.

The patient came with highly pneumatic maxillary sinuses. The treatment plan consists of a bilateral open sinus lift and bone expansion of the residual border (2 mm) with osteotomes.

The patient was 35 years old and came to the clinic for emergency treatment of tooth #21 (9). The tooth was fractured, mobile and infected. After examination we decided to extract the tooth and graft the bone defect with Bond Apatite® for the future implant.

A long term case, five years after augmenting with Bond Apatite. The grafting procedure was performed in the aesthetic zone, where a buccal plate was missing. The patient had poor periodontal condition, and came in for a consultation. They complained of significant mobility of tooth #21 (9), with inflammation.

Abstract: Calcium sulfate is used as a synthetic graft material in orthopedics, plastic surgery, oncological surgery, and dentistry, and it has been used in a variety of clinical applications, such as the repair of periodontal defects, the treatment of osteomyelitis, maxillary sinus augmentation, and as a complement to the placement of dental implants. To carry out this systematic review, a bibliographic search was carried out.

This article is an open access article distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license (https:// creativecommons.org/licenses/by/ 4.0/). the use of calcium sulfate as a material in guided bone regeneration in dentistry have better results compared to other bone graft materials? Finally, a case series is presented using the calcium sulfate for different procedures. Currently, the available literature on the use of calcium sulfate as a graft material in implant surgery is scarce, and what is available provides low-quality evidence. That is whymoreresearch studies on the subject are necessary to allow more comparisons and meaningful conclusions. After using Bond Apatite® in our case series, we can conclude that it is a useful and easy-to-handle material in implantology practice, but more controlled studies should be carried out in this regard to assess its long-term efficacy, especially in horizontal and/or vertical regeneration.

A revision of the lower right molar was made, the tumor was removed (highly mineralized part similar to osteoma and granulation tissue from area around). We made a root resections of tooth #46 (30) with retrograde filling of the root canals using MTA. We filled the bone defect with Bond Apatite (1 cc). Histopathological study showed the presence of a odontogenic fibroma structure in granulation tissue and osteoma in mineralized part. We observed a good healing of bone and soft tissue in 2 years months follow-up.

This case shows us the evolution of the sinus floor, one year after an intra crestal sinus lift through the crestal direction. The patient is a diabetic woman in her 60's, who came for an implant treatment in the upper, right jaw. She had several years with an edentulous space between #14 (5) - #16 (3).

Video of Dr. Baranes performing an intra-crestal (closed) sinus lift with immediate implant placement.

Patient : Male, 60 year old, non-smoker. The extractions of #13 (25) and #14 (26) were realized 5 months before, including bone preservation with Augma Bond Apatite®. The option of a closed sinus lift was preferred to a lateral approach because of the flexibility of the sinus floor due to the bone preservation.

A patient came for implant placement in #14 (5) and #16 (3). An implant in # 14 (5) can be placed easily, but a sinus lift must be performed in #15 (4) and #16 (3). It was decided to avoid a lateral window approach and to perform an intra crestal sinus lift.

A patient in her fifties came for implant treatment in the left maxilla. Dr. Baranes decided to place an implant, 3.75/10 in tooth #24 (12). In #26 (14) bone width was only 1mm, so a crestal sinus floor elevation was completed first to increase the bone height. Three months post-op an implant of 3.75/10 was placed. No additional augmentation was performed as 6 mm of bone was gained.

The patient presented with vertical movement of the 1st quadrant bridge, difficulties in chewing and extreme tooth wear and nerve exposure. Treatment planning involved the extraction of all mandible and maxillary teeth, the placement of 5 implants on the mandible with immediate load. A bilateral sinus lift will be done with maxillary implants planned for 6 months post-op.

The surgical plan included the total extraction of upper and lower teeth. Five implants are placed in the lower jaw with immediate load. The correction of bone defects in the maxilla and mandible. Bilateral superior sinus lift and an All on 6 with immediate loading 6 months after bone reconstruction.

The patient presented with a cracked left maxillary lateral incisor. Treatment includes extraction, grafting and immediate implant.

The patient is 67 years old and was referred for the treatment of a fractured tooth with radiolucency. In this case there was no buccal plate and no incisions were made. Due to the lack of buccal plate, the choice was made to use Bond Apatite.

In this case there was a vertical fracture and a fistula. Extraction and immediate implant with 3D Bond.

We did an endodontic treatment of #14 (5) and a surgery. The radicular cyst was removed (with histopathology), root resection of teeth #14 (5) and #15 (4) with retrograde MTA filling. We filled the bone defect with Bond Apatite® (1 cc).

Tooth #45 (29) & #46 (30) were extracted. Tooth #44 (28) is going through an endodontic retreatment procedure.  At the time of extraction, enucleation of a cystic lesion 1 cm in diameter.

We made a root resection of tooth #35 (20) with back-fill with the MTA, cyst enucleation (confirmed with histopathology examination). We filled the bone defect with Bond Apatite (1/2 cc). Good healing and no clinical symptoms after six months was observed.

The cyst appeared 8 months after good endodontic treatment. We did a root resection of tooth #22 (10), followed by a cyst enucleation with histopathology examination. The bone defect was then filled with Bond Apatite (2cc).

There were long standing carries in the upper left canine, so it was decided not to proceed with a socket shield. The decay extended subgingival and drilling was done at the palatal portion of the root. Once the osteotomy was complete, periotomes were used to deflect the buccal segment to the palatal space to allow for extraction. Bond Apatite® was next followed by placement of noris medical tuff 5x13 implant and a 5mm healing abutments. Vertical mattress nylon at the papillae and 4-0 pga to retain the Augma Shield™

A 20 year old was referred to us to perform an implant in area #22 (10) due to agenesis (after orthodontic preparation.) The doctor wants to perform a screwed crown. This requires us to perform the implant outside the frame of the bone. We will treat the dehiscence with Bond Apatite.

Pain in the apical area of teeth #11 (8) and #12 (7). Complementary exams confirm apical lesion in both teeth. The tooth #11 (8) needs endodontic treatment. The patient wants to keep her teeth. The treatment plan includes removal of apical cysts, apicectomy of teeth #12 (7) and #11 (8). Bone defect reconstruction and saving the two teeth.

The conservative endodontic treatment of the tooth #26 (14) failed. We made a root resection of this buccal mesial root of tooth #26 (14,) backfilling with MTA and cyst enucleation with histopathology examination. We filled the bone defect with Bond Apatite®.

The root of #35 (20) was resected, with a backfill of the root canal with MTA. Cyst enucleation was confirmed with histopathology examination. The bone defect was filled with Bond Apatite® (0.5 cc).

The lower right first molar was atraumatically extracted without any lingual or buccal flap. Immediate implant was placed with >50 N/Cm torque.

Unerupted tooth #13 (6) was preserved and deciduous #53 (C) was extracted. GBR with Bond Apatite® was done. An implant was placed 4 months post-op, during which time a temporary tooth was connected with braces.

Healthy 44 year old female presents with constant, moderate pain on endodontically treated tooth #30 (46). Three months following endo re-treatment of MB and ML canals, the pain persisted.

The patient is a healthy 39 year old woman. The crown on tooth #16 (3) broke that day while biting bread. There was no way to rescue the tooth. She has pain and discomfort. Tooth #16 (3) was extracted without flap reflection and the defect was filled with 3D Bond™ 0.5 cc, and a collagen sponge. Bone regeneration was observed both clinically and in radiographic images 3 months post-op, and the ultrashort Bicon implant was placed (D-4.5mm, L -6.0mm). Final prosthetic restoration was done 4 months later with a full ceramic crown. In the next 12 months no inflammatory symptoms were observed.

Extraction and Bone Regeneration with Biphasic Calcium Sulfate. 5 month post-op follow up with implant placement with sinus lift augmentation.

In bone of poor quality, increasing implant diameter may be the only way to increase tolerance to occlusal forces, improve initial stability, and provide a favorable stress distribution to the surrounding bone. Shorter implants, those with locking tapers and plateau root shapes, tend to have longer survival times by using Biphasic Calcium Sulfate.

The patient presented with an infected and fractured molar with compromised buccal plate. The extraction was done in segments. Osteotomy prep grafted with Bond Apatite®, uncover osteotomy, immediate implant placement.  Note the keratinized gingiva around the healed implant. The key here was no flap at the time of the extraction.

The patient presented with a large area of inflammation around the tooth #12 (7) with a complete lesion of external cortical lamina. We extracted the tooth and removed the inflammation (with histopathology examination). We filled the bone defect with Bond Apatite® (1 cc). After 4 months we have a new young bone in the position of #12 (7), so the implant was placed with good primary stability of the implant.

and after graft placement with Augma Bond Apatite® a 6x11.5mm implant was inserted at 50n-cm final torque.

treatment of #37 (18) and extraction of #36 (19) due to deep periodontal pocket with active secretion and furcation involvement. The tooth was extracted atraumatically, and an implant was placed centrally, relying on the septum.

The patient is a woman in her 50’s, who came a day before a family event for a fixed prothetelic supported by immediate implant placement. Canine in a classic vestibular position, it will be necessary to try to keep the buccal bone wall as much as possible and reconstruct the ridge.

An 81-year-old woman came to the consultation with complaints of mandibular pain, difficulty in chewing, bad taste and bad breath. The patient had an old mandibular treatment with infected implants with suppuration. The remaining teeth were also in very poor condition. It was decided to extract all teeth and mandibular implants, with placement of 4 immediate implants with immediate loading and mandibular bone reconstruction. Four months later the definitive hybrid prosthesis would be made.

Failing first molar, immediate extraction and implant placement. Flap stretch to achieve primary closure. Graft with Bond Apatite.

The patient presented with a failed bridge, and has a history of IV bisphosphonate and extractions were completed without flaps. Socket grafting and immediate implants were placed, and the socket opening were covered with a collagen sponge to protect the graft material and minimize chance of bone exposure.

The patient is a healthy female, 59 years old. The root of tooth #13 (6) broke without any reason. Prosthetic restoration was not possible.  The patient feels pain and discomfort. Root #13 (6) was extracted with flap opening. After that we saw partial damage of the external cortical lamina, about 5 millimeters. Immediate implant placement is performed, and the bone defect is filled with Bond Apatite® (1 cc). A full restoration of the external lamina was observed clinically 3.5 months post-op. Final prosthetic restoration was done in next 3 weeks. 12 month post-op follow-up no inflammatory symptoms were observed.

The crowns of the teeth were destroyed below the bone level and any type of reconstruction was impossible. Treatment planning includes extraction and socket grafting with Bond Apatite^®. Insertion of three Bicon implants in the areas of teeth #35 (20), 36 (19), 37 (18). Setting three crowns on the implants.

The patient is a 56 year old female, healthy & nonsmoking. Presented with a mobile bridge in her upper front left region. The distal abutment of the bridge was a broken root with caries, swelling and discharge. Tooth #26 (14) was extracted years prior. The bridge is not aesthetic enough regarding teeth #21 (9) and #22 (10), and not in proper occlusion. Periapical lesion in tooth #22 (10) and PDL widening. The treatment plan started with cutting the bridge distal to #22 (10), extracting root #25 (13) and placing three tilted implants with immediate loading, preserving all the neighboring teeth.

The patient is a healthy, 75 years old female who presented with tooth #11 (8) after a root canal, with mobility and extreme extrusion. The patient complained that she was very dissatisfied with the aesthetics and wanted to correct position of #11 (8) and close the gap between tooth #11 (8) and #21 (9). 

The planning consists of tooth extraction, Augma Bone Cement, implant insertion and a provisional screwed composite crown.  Four months post-op we place a composite restoration on #11 (8) and then final impression for final ceramic crown.

After extraction four implants were placed in positions 34 (21), 32 (23), 42 (26) and 44 (28) with good primary stability (Ires System, D-3.7 mm, L-11.5 mm). The empty alveolars between implants were filled with Bond Apatite®. The temporary overdenture was fixed on temporary abutments. During a follow up visit 3 months later the patient reported a growing pain of the left site (position 34 (21)).

The patient is a healthy, 45 year old female. The mandibular periodontitis was treated but with high root exposure and dental mobility, and the patient is ashamed to smile. The treatment plan includes the complete extraction of mandibular teeth, regularization of the mandibular bony platform, and 5 implants with immediate load.

A healthy 36 year old woman comes to the clinic with pain and swelling in the area of ​​the inferior left molars. In the intraoral observation, a vestibular fistula was identified, and the complementary exams confirmed a bone lesion caused by a root perforation (poorly executed false post) on the first lower left molar #36 (19). It was decided to do antibiotic therapy for a week and then the tooth extraction with immediate implant placement and bone graft. 4 months post-op the definitive zirconia/ceramic crown would be was made.

a case of severe bone loss around failed implants, that served for about 15 years and were recently grouped together with a metal bar in order to support an upper denture. The entire frame was held by implant #16 (3), the other implants were in soft tissue only, the remaining bone was severely atrophied.

The lower left canine is both infected and fractured. Grafting was with autogenous bone and Augma Bond Apatite®. Due to uneven socket wall levels for the canine, and implant was selected with 2mm machined collar. Augma provided bone and soft tissue enhancement. The tissue is holding around the machined collar. The final images are 18 months after restoration.

(15). In order to avoid lateral sinus lift procedure, the ridge was first reconstructed. Three months later, a minimally invasive intra-crestal sinus lift approach with immediate implant placement was performed.

This video shows the protocols for an Open (lateral window) Sinus Lift with immediate implants, as well as extractions and dehiscence.

The patient is a 65 year old female, who came in for implants. We decided to perform an open sinus lift using a lateral window, which we will fill with Bond Apatite.

Medical Background: Breast cancer (30 months ago) Chemotherapy (with bisphosphonates) Radiation Dental Background: Severe pain and decay in tooth 18 (#8), which caused an infection of the Schneider’s membrane.  Because of the severe pain, we must intervene.

The first symptom was pain similar to pulpitis in teeth #41 (25), #42 (26) and #43 (27). After endodontic treatment, the X-rays and CBCT showed a focus of necrotizes with strongly sheading elements in the central area. We did a root resection with backfill of the root canal with MTA in teeth #42 (26) and #43 (27). The tumor was removed with peripheral bone curettage to about 1 millimeter deep. The biological structure of the tumor was similar to spongy bone, but little harder. The bone defect was filled with Bond Apatite® (2cc). The tumor was taken to histopathology. Diagnosis: Osteoid osteoma of the mandible

Periapical lesion and root resorption are demonstrated around the tooth #23 (#11). The tooth underwent repeated root canal treatment by endodontist and courses of antibiotics without improvements.

This is a case of socket shield for the right central incisor. The left central incisors was placed 8 years prior with full extraction. One can tell the difference with bone and soft tissue architecture between the two.

nt is a 72 year old female smoker with poor hygiene,. The treatment plan includes a complete denture in the upper jaw, as well as a complete denture in the lower jaw stabilized by two anterior implants. A provisional denture will be placed in the upper and lower jaw during the healing process.

healthy patient. He came to consult for pain on #11 (8). The x-ray did not provide any convincing but the clinical examination made us think of a root fracture. I performed a large full thickness flap and realized a bone filling with biphasic calcium sulfate (Augma Bond Apatite), hoping to limit the loss of width following a traumatic extraction. A collagen sponge was used to cover the graft.

The crown on #46 (#30) was 6 months old, and was still painful despite weeks of antibiotics. Our decision was to extract the tooth and to graft biphasic calcium sulfate (Augma Bond Apatite®) in order to recover as much bone volume as possible. After 6 months, and a complete restitution of the bone volume, an implant (Surcam, S-type, 5x 13) was placed in a true bone.

In this video Bond Apatite is used to fill a defect in the area of the lower, right incisor with a missing buccal plate. Four months post-op an implant is placed in new bone.

The patient is a healthy, 67 year old female who presented with a root fracture of tooth #13 (6). The patient complained of dissatisfaction with the color of the tooth, and the inability to chew due to pain and discomfort.

Patient is a 74 year old male, healthy non smoker. Tooth #26 (14) was under follow up after rehabilitation that took place more than 20 years ago, with another clinic. Recently the patient experienced pain and swelling, as well as discharge. Due to the infection and periapical lesions detected we decided to extract.

This video shows a full arch rehabilitation with bilateral open sinus lift.

The patient presented with a lack of teeth for chewing in the 2nd quadrant, a destroyed tooth #24 (12) with an apical cyst, and a lack of aesthetics when they smiled.

This is a sinus lift with two windows due to a partial septum. Bond Apatite® was used in the sinus lift, and was placed directly into the chamber.

In this case Bond Apatite is used for socket grafting after extraction, and lateral augmentation. The socket is covered with the Augma Shield to protect the material during the initial healing stage.

Discomfort and tooth mobility of the left upper lateral incisor. A fistula was detached buccally near the apex zone of the tooth. Radiographic imagery revealed a large radiolucency in connection with the tooth apex. The tooth was extracted and the lesion removed, followed by augmentation with Bond Apatite.

The patient is a 70 year old male with a bridge from #45 (29) - #47 (31) that is mobile and causing pain.

presented with diffuse palatal swelling and mild pain in the upper left first molar. The tooth was sectioned and removed without any palatal or buccal flap. Augma was placed with sutures and a collagen plug.

Diagnosis: Granuloma and bone re absorption in septum and palatal root.

The first molar #30 (46) was extracted and augmentation was done with Augma Bond Apatite®. Re-entry for implant placement was 3 months post-op. Radiographic evaluation was done 3 and 6 months post-op. Follow up after 4 years of clinical function illustrates the stability of the bone level, and the process of bone remodeling and maturation.

Dr. Stéphane Berg discusses changing dogmas and the evolution of dentistry, first for himself and then for others. His way of confronting dogmas, through the dissonance between periodontology and implantology and later while adopting new bone grafting principles, allowed him to become an expert in his field.

Following the 2nd International Symposium, we had the greatest pleasure to host Dr. Jose Camelo Ferreira in The Bone Cement Podcast. Dr. Ferreira shares the mindset that led him to pursue his professional and personal path over alternative routes, and how he puts himself in a position to show colleagues how to work differently.

The patient is a 40 year old female who came to the clinic with crowns on teeth #21 (9) & #11 (8) that are failing and show signs of infection. CBCT shows missing buccal bone. The treatment plan included extraction and immediate implants with Bond Apatite® to fix the dehiscence.

The patient is a 19 year old female, coming for implant treatment on #21 (9). Tooth #21 (9) is missing after a fall 10 years earlier. CBCT shows a very thin crest and a need for lateral augmentation. The challenge is to keep the papilla and the gingival contour (aesthetic zone) despite the surgery.

Removal of the old bridge over implants #45 (29)/#47 (31), flap opening, removal of granulation tissue, cleaning and disinfection of the implant surface. The extraction of #44 (28) with immediate implant and immediate load followed by the placement of the old bridge sterilized in the autoclave during the surgery time. 4 months post-op, a final crown will be made on the new implant #44 (28).

The patient is a 62 year old male with advanced periodontal disease, mobility grade II, missing teeth and compromised function and esthetic. Augmentation and immediate placement of trefoil implants.

Placement of the #12 (7) implant with immediate load 1.5 months post-op, placement of the #11 (8) implant with immediate load (to avoid losing the  papilla between the implants) 6 months later, placement of the finals crowns

The patient is a 50 year old male with periodontitis and mandibular teeth in poor condition. The patient has difficulty chewing and a poor aesthetic.

Extraction of the natural tooth may be a prelude to implant placement. This may be done using an immediate placement protocol or require a delayed approach depending on multiple factors that include residual infection related to the failed tooth being extracted, availability of bone to stabilize the implant at placement, or soft tissue issues. Socket preservation is recommended when the delayed approach is selected to create an osseous bed with adequate height and width that can accommodate the implant that is planned.

Periodontitis, Stage III, Grade C, with molar incisor pattern. They demonstrated bleeding, deep pockets and vertical bone resorption.

The patient was referred by his treating dentist following repeat acute phases. The decision to extract is done with antibiotics and corticosteroid coverage. GBR will be performed during the surgical stage, with Augma Bond Apatite.

Here we have three different cases of the extraction of wisdom teeth (3rd Molars) using Bond Apatite for socket grafting and GBR.

Quad -Zygoma using Extra Maxillary Approach in conjunction to Bond Apatite®, reducing trauma and avoiding complications on Full Arch clinical cases.

The patient presented with reduced dimension of the vertical bone after using a removable prosthesis for 20 years. The treatment plan included 2 retro-molar implants, 2 zygomatic implants and 4 conventional implants.
