Abstract
GUIDED TISSUE REGENERATION WAS EMPLOYED to effect regeneration of a di sfigured edentulous ridge, with a poorly positioned implant in place. Demineralized freeze dried bone and an expanded polytetrafluoroethylen e membrane were utilized and resulted in growth of new, bone-like mate rial in both a bucco-lingual and apico-occlusal dimension, totally sub merging the unusable implant.
