Autologous Block Graft and Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) for Horizontal Ridge Augmentation in the Anterior Maxilla
A 27-year-old man was referred to the Department of Oral Surgery and Stomatology (University of Bern, Switzerland for implant therapy in the anterior maxilla. The patient was healthy and did not smoke. His tooth 21 was apically malpositioned and ankylosed due to a dental trauma during adolescence. The preoperative examination included an esthetic risk assessment (Martin and coworkers 2006), which revealed a number of high-risk elements, most important among them the patient’s high smile line and the non-harmonious gingival margins of the maxillary anterior dentition. Tooth 21 was associated with significant gingival recession. Tooth 11 required treatment to eliminate or mask severe discoloration from previous root canal treatment. A periapical radiograph confirmed the ankylosed condition of root 21 and disclosed characteristic signs of advanced external root resorption, also showing that both central incisors had been exposed to root canal treatment. Neither tooth showed indications of apical pathology.
