Guided Bone Regeneration next to mucogingival deformities: a minimally invasive surgical approach.
A 55-year-old woman with no significant medical or dental history presented with missing maxillary premolars due to endodontic failures, class IV recession on the adjacent tooth, pneumatized sinus and a bucco-lingual collapse of the ridge.
The patient was treated with simultaneous sinus elevation, implant placement, guided bone regeneration, and soft tissue grafting. Full screw-retained zirconia restorations were used in this case.

Questions
Ask a questionHi, great job with really wonderful result! My Q is about the buccal frenum, why didn't you do frenectomy/ frenotomy?
Thanks for the interesting question.
The frenum was disconnected at second stage surgery. It did not affect food and plaque accumulation and there was no aesthetic concern so it was left.

Any final x ray with crowns ?
