Abstract
Severe ridge atrophy in the anterior maxilla represents one of the most challenging clinical situation in the bone regeneration arena. Combination of right surgical technique using various biomaterials and gentle soft tissue management is needed to obtain successful outcomes. The present case series describes a novel approach to increasing the volume of bone deficiencies in the anterior atrophied maxillae by using a mixture of autologous and anorganic bovine bone and membranes based on a titanium thread. By combining soft and hard tissue grafts, optimum esthetic and long-term implant prosthesis stability can be achieved and sustained.
