Multidisciplinary management of advanced occlusal periodontitis: genioplasty for autogenous block bone grafts

The need for osseous ridge augmentation provided an opportunity to address the patient's facial imbalance. Concomitantly, genioplasty camouflaged the vertical facial excess and deficient chin. At the outset, a prosthetic commitment was essential.
