Abstract


Maxillary ridge atrophy involving the esthetic zone negatively affects a patient’s life. Dentoalveolar trauma is one of the
common causes for maxillary anterior ridge atrophy. Autogenous block graft transplants for alveolar ridge reconstruction
are considered as gold standard in the restoration of osseous volume. We here report a case of reconstruction of atrophic
maxillary anterior alveolar ridge with block bone graft harvested from the chin, and subsequent prosthetic rehabilitation.
A 27-year-old male presented atrophic alveolar bone in relation to 21 as a result of dentoalveolar trauma. Reconstruction
was performed with autogenous block graft harvested from chin. After 3 months metal ceramic fixed partial denture was
fabricated and inserted and followed up for 1 year. It can be concluded that autograft harvested from chin is a safe and
effective option for alveolar ridge defects reconstruction.
