Abstract

Osseus defects in the alveolar ridge can occur from trauma events, periodontal disease, and infections. Reconstruction of osseus defects requires bone augmentation, which is a crucial component of dental implant procedures, particularly in the aesthetic zone where the availability of sufficient bone volume can be a challenge. The symphysis block graft is a technique that has gained popularity in recent years for bone augmentation, by harvesting a small section of bone from the mandible. The standard procedure usually takes up to 3 to 6 months of a waiting period for implant placement after a bone graft procedure; however, it is not impossible to simultaneously do the single stage surgery of block graft and implant placement in the aesthetic zone. This article aims to evaluate the outcome of autogenous block graft with simultaneous implant placement procedure in the aesthetic zone in one single visit. A 21-year-old man presented with an edentulous area in the upper front teeth and wanted to get tooth replacements of his missing central and left incisors. The front teeth were avulsed and extracted after a road traffic accident 3 months earlier, and the treatment given was a closed reduction with arch bars for 2 months. The osseus defects in labio-palatal width was reconstructed with a symphysis block graft as the donor and two implants were inserted into the recipient site in a single stage surgery. A single stage surgery involving an autogenous block graft with simultaneous implant placement is an effective technique and can be considered safe with a high survival rate. However, further studies with long-term evaluations need to be conducted to provide more evidence to support this protocol.
