Mandibular tori can be used as a local bone source for dental ridge augmentation. This successful case demonstrates their utility in restoring missing teeth with resin-bonded bridges.

Area of Science:

  • Dental surgery
  • Oral and maxillofacial surgery
  • Periodontology

Background:

  • Missing maxillary lateral incisors and canines present a restorative challenge.
  • Ridge augmentation is often necessary to achieve optimal esthetic and functional outcomes.
  • Autogenous bone grafting is a common method for ridge augmentation.

Observation:

  • A 19-year-old female patient required restoration of missing maxillary anterior teeth.
  • Mandibular tori were identified as a potential donor site for autogenous bone.
  • Bone grafting from mandibular tori was performed for ridge augmentation.

Findings:

  • The mandibular tori provided a suitable and accessible source of bone for grafting.
  • Successful ridge augmentation was achieved using bone harvested from mandibular tori.

  • The augmented ridge allowed for the subsequent restoration with resin-bonded bridgework.

    • Implications:

    • Mandibular tori represent a viable and convenient intraoral donor site for bone grafting in dental ridge augmentation.
    • This technique may simplify surgical procedures and reduce patient morbidity.
    • Further research can explore the long-term outcomes and predictability of using mandibular tori for augmentation.
