Rehabilitation of edentulous patients with excessivelly resorbed alveolar ridges with implant retained fixed partial dentures is clinically a challenging situation. Vertical and horizontal bone resorbtion creates malalligned jaw relations which mandates vertical and horizontal block bone grafting for proper soft tissue support and occlussion. Grafting implant site have some disadvantages in term of patient discomfort, treatment time, treatment cost and above all high risk of graft failure.
