The long-term efficacy of PepGen P-15, a tissue-engineered particulate bone replacement graft, has been established for the treatment of periodontal osseous defects. In this case study, the long-term benefits of PepGen P-15 as a bone replacement graft for onlay grafting and ridge augmentation is evaluated using clinical and radiographic assessments. The radiographic and clinical evaluations continued for a period of over 8 years to confirm the stability of the onlay/ridge augmentation site grafted with PepGen P-15 particulate.
