A patient wishes to have teeth for the upper anterior segment of the mouth but does not want to resort to wearing any type of removable denture. Unfortunately, the width of the anterior alveolar bone is only 2-3 mm thick and will not be able to accommodate any of the

The patient lacks the volume of bone in the upper anterior region of the mouth to adequately support two traditional dental implants. Therefore, multiple autogenous bone block grafts were harvested from the patient’s lower jaw (donor site) and transplanted and fixated to the anterior esthetic region of the mouth (recipient

The proposed implant site does not have adequate bone width or thickness for the placement of a traditional sized implant; therefore, a bone augmentation procedure must be performed. For this patient, a ridge splitting procedure is selected and performed at the very narrow space followed by the expansion of the

The patient has been missing 2 teeth in the posterior region for many years now and as a result the bone volume has deteriorated in all 3 dimensions. In order to replace the missing teeth with dental implants the area will first require bone augmentation for implant support. As a

For this patient, all the remaining natural teeth are extracted, alveoloplasty (reduction and contouring) of the bony alveolar ridge is performed, 8 dental implants (traditional endosteal or root-form implants) are then placed, and finally an oral prosthesis in this case, a full-arch fixed (screw-retained) implant prosthesis (i.e., implant bridge) is
