ABSTRACT
The treatment of edentulism with dental implants is often combined with hard- and soft-tissue grafting procedures as a means to improve marginal bone stability and esthetic outcomes. One such method of hard-tissue grafting involves the utilization of a titanium membrane as a space maintenance device to contain the graft material and support the soft tissue. These membranes, however, are typically limited in their ability to be customized and, therefore, are often unsuitable for varying clinical situations. This case report presents a simplified prototype design of an abutment-associated titanium membrane. This design enables a greater level of customization and demonstrates stable clinical and radiographic results after 2 years of follow-up.
