In this case we showed how important is to evaluate the edentulous space and to perform bone reconstruction of the whole area and not only of the extraction sockets. At the end, the quality of regenerated bone was very good, the initial stability of the implants was very high, therefore we decided to place only 2 and not 3 dental implants as original planned, to be restored with a 3-unit bridge.
It is my belief that bone manipulation techniques like ERE can give more long-term stable results than regular GBR techniques. No evidence is available in the literature, however we could start a debate on this matter.
Best,
Ioannis
