Abstract
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.
