Abstract
A 16-year-old young man had severe loss of alveolar bone and lost four teeth in the anterior maxilla because of traumatic injury in a traffic accident. To overcome the surgically compromised condition for implant rehabilitation, the deficient ridge was augmented by autogenous bone graft from the mandibular symphysis. The augmented ridge had much improvement in width but less in vertical height. Four implants were placed to gain initial osseointegration. Segmental osteotomy was performed to occlusally reposition the implants and bone for 5-mm in the anterior maxilla. After 2 years of clinical follow-up, the rehabilitation outcome is satisfactory and stable.
