Journal Title: Journal of Dental Health and Oral Research - Year 2022, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Loss of teeth in the anterior region in a young patient can be very traumatic. Not only are they concerned about the function, but also about the aesthetics. The rehabilitation of missing teeth poses the challenge of deficiency of both hard and soft tissues. This case report highlights the rehabilitation of the teeth in the aesthetic zone of a patient who had lost teeth due to a road traffic accident. An inter-disciplinary approach was used to treat this patient. Alveolar ridge was augmented prior to implant placement. The ridge deficiency was successfully augmented with autogenous bone graft, which laid a strong foundation for the osseointegration for implant placement and the patient was satisfied with the functional and aesthetic outcome, which was measured using the Pink Esthetic score and White Esthetic Score.
