This female patient presented with bone loss due to a radicular cyst at tooth 27 and peri-implantitis at tooth 26. Four months after extraction of the respective tooth and implant, guided bone regeneration (GBR) was carried out using supporting screws and an e-PTFE membrane for augmentation of the posterior tooth region of the maxilla. Four months after GBR the insertion of an implant took place.
