Abstract

The replacement of missing maxillary incisors is one of the challenging steps while planning a treatment in a precise manner for individual especially in terms of aesthetic goal. Aesthetically achieving a harmonious gingival contour, maintaining and preserving the intact interdental papillae as well as the preservation of convex contour of alveolar crest is the major objective of implant supported prosthesis. Placement of implant without prosthesis resulting in compromised functional and aesthetic outcome. Guided bone regeneration is one of the most common approaches for enhancement of bone volume GBR is the surgical procedure where bone graft and barrier membrane have been utilized for the reconstruction of the defects around dental implant. The osseous regeneration by GBR depends on migration of osteogenic cells to the bone defect site and elimination of the cells which hinder the osteoblastic activity. This technique is highly successful for the localized augmentation of atrophic jaw or during simultaneous implant placement. The case report presents the surgical aspect of guided bone regeneration and implant placement in maxillary anterior aesthetic zone to augment the deficient buccal bone.
