Abstract:

Missing teeth can easily be replaced with implant supported crowns nowadays. Often however we come to obstacles related with the lack of bone which may compromise the treatment. An interpositional bone graft is a predictable surgery that provides the area with the missing bone in order to achieve the anatomy required for an aesthetic outcome. There are other methods to restore that anatomy; Interpositional grafting however provides a predictable result and this has evidence based results. We will share a case using an interposition block graft with vascularized osteotomy from treatment planning to completion.
