New Surgical Technique Using Xenograft as a Microinvasive Method to Avoid Extensive Bone Reconstruction in Patients With Compromised General Health: Promising Surgical Methodology and First Clinical Results.

The innovative microinvasive immediate implantation technique of dental implants insertion was described. The technique uses bovine xenograft material to restore the bone defect resulting from teeth pathologies and subsequent extraction. Ten patients had extractions of their premolar upper teeth and immediate implantations with xenograft socket augmentation. This unique procedure allowed primary stability of implant above 70 implant stability quotient in all cases. All of the implants healed without complications and were restored with screwed ceramic crowns. Two-year uneventful follow-ups confirmed alveolar xenograft condensation technique as a microinvasive and safe technique, especially for patients with compromised general health who may not undergo complicated restorative operations.
