Abstract

Anterior maxillary atrophy is characterized by the loss of bone in the front portion of the upper jaw, specifically the alveolar ridge bone. This atrophy can result from various factors, including tooth loss, periodontal disease, trauma, or developmental abnormalities. Dental implants may be challenging to place in the atrophic anterior maxillary due to insufficient bone volume and compromised anatomical conditions. Several treatment options are available to address anterior maxillary atrophy and restore both function and aesthetics. Bone augmentation procedures, such as bone grafting or guided bone regeneration, can be employed to rebuild the deficient bone volume. This paper describes a bone atrophy of the anterior upper jaw treated with implant insertion and guided bone regeneration.
