Abstract

The anterior maxillary jaw is called as the aesthetic zone because of its high visibility and influence on facial appearance. Residual ridge defect following the loss of an anterior natural tooth presents a challenge for an aesthetic restoration. Ridge augmentation is an effective way to develop high well rounded soft tissue architecture to facilitate an aesthetic restoration. This article demonstrates soft tissue augmentation of a Seibert’s class III defect by subepithelial connective tissue graft harvested from the palate, which was followed by fabrication of four unit porcelain fused to metal restoration.

Key words: Ridge augmentation, Subepithelial connective tissue graft, Metal ceramic restoration.
