| Abstract | |
Alveolar bone deficiency in horizontal or vertical dimension is one of the major challenges in placing a dental implant especially in maxillary aesthetic region. However, autogenous bone grafts or various bone substitutes can be used to harbour an implant in compromised alveolar bone. Here, we present a case of traumatic single tooth loss in maxillary aesthetic region in a young female presenting with a deficient crestal width which was successfully grafted with mandibular symphysis autograft and subsequently rehabilitated with a dental implant. |
