Part 3 of An Eight-Year Dental Odyssey in the Life of a 22-Year-Old Patient GUIDED BONE REGENERATION OF A POST-ORTHODONTIC CASE By Randy K. Newby, DDS Fig. 2 Fig. 1 I n this article, I will show a completed orthodon-tic case of a patient who was congenitally missing his maxillary lateral incisors and whose bone width (labial to lingual) in these sites was insuffi-cient to place root form implants. I will show the guided bone regeneration augmentation procedures performed to convert these sites to properly accom-modate root form implants. I have no financial or any other relationship other than being a consumer with any manufacturers of the products discussed in this article. My background in root form implantology includes graduation in 2011 from the Externship Program at the Midwest Implant Institute 9 in Colum-bus, Ohio. In 2013, I graduated from the Master Clin-ician Program at the gIDE Global Institute for Dental Education 4 in Los Angeles, CA. I’ve also completed intensive studies under Dr. Istvan Urban 6 for the past several years in the United States and in his home city of Budapest, Hungary. I have been fortunate to learn from many top implantologists including Drs. Duke and Robert Heller, Dr. Sascha Jovanovic, Dr. Egon Euwe, Dr. Joseph Kan, and others, but it wasn’t until I studied under Dr. Istvan Urban that I was able to put implant concepts together from A to Z. This included guided bone regeneration, soft tissue graft-ing, implant placement and definitive restoration. Dr. Urban is a PhD, MD, dentist, oral surgeon, peri-odontist and has extensive knowledge in biology and histology. He received these various degrees from Semmelweis University and St. Istvan Hospital in Budapest, Hungary, University of California, and Loma Linda University. 32 Winter 2018 JAOS
