G uided tissue regeneration was employed to effect regeneration of a disfigured edentulous ridge, with a poorly positioned implant in place. Demineralized freeze dried bone and an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane were utilized and resulted in growth of new, bone‐like material in both a bucco‐lingual and apico‐occlusal dimension, totally submerging the unusable implant.
