Interdisciplinary treatment of a severe maxillary aesthetic defect: a case report

The treatment of compromised dentition as a result of severe bone deficiencies in the aesthetic zone requires the use of predictable alveolar bone regeneration and restorative techniques. A multidisciplinary treatment approach based on thorough communication and treatment planning will allow the delivery of desirable periodontal and prosthetic results. By considering the patient's desires and existing condition, different treatment options can be presented to determine which best suits the patient's needs. This presentation describes a treatment protocol for restoration of the anterior region following bone augmentation, implant placement, and prosthetic rehabilitation.
