LOCALIZED ALVEOLAR RIDGE AUGMENTATION DONE WITH AUTO GRAFT MATERIAL USING TWO TECHNIQUES.

Augmentation of the partially edentulous ridge can significantly improve the final prosthodontic rehabilitation. Various techniques are available to correct ridge defects. For enhancing soft tissue contours in the anterior region, the sub-epithelial connective tissue graft is the treatment of choice. The combination of allograft with connective tissue graft can optimize the ridge augmentation and minimizes the defects. In this article, two clinical reports are presented wherein localized ridge augmentation was performed using allograft alone and allograft in combination with connective tissue graft.
