"REGENFAST® is a precious help, especially for the most demanding muco-gingival cases around teeth and implants. Healing is incredibly fast. That’s probably why patients report less post-operative pain. On top of that, it is very easy to use."

The Situation

This patient with severe bone resorption had been treated 4 months previously with Guided Bone Regeneration plus lateral sinus lift. At that time, to ensure primary healing, flaps were over-released, and the consequence was a shallow vestibule and mobile mucosa on the regenerated crest that needed to be corrected before implant placement.

8 | Healing at 40 days. The result is very satisfying. We now have a large band of dense, attached immobile tissue on the regenerated crest with a deep vestibule.
