Guided orthodontic regeneration: A tool to enhance conventional regenerative techniques in implant surgery

A hopeless upper central incisor was subjected to forced eruption before implant substitution to improve and develop the amount of soft tissue. This involved a GBR to insert the implant and a GTR to regenerate the tissue around the dehiscence of the nearby lateral using a “Guided Orthodontic Regeneration” (GOR) approach. The extrusion was performed esthetically in lingual orthodontics. The GOR technique included a Guided Orthodontic “Bone” Regeneration (GOBR) and a Guided Orthodontic “Soft Tissue” Regeneration (GOTR). This developed a 3D implant site while correcting the osseous defects and increasing the amount of soft tissue, which was used for a subsequent regenerative technique.
