Guided transpositional bone blocks in esthetic zone: Surgical technique and case report
This report describes a modern technique for addressing bone loss in the upper front part of the mouth, crucial for placing dental implants correctly. A 55-year-old patient with insufficient bone was treated using a digital plan to precisely guide the movement of a bone piece from a nearby area to where it was needed. This guided approach involved designing a custom guide with computer software, securely attaching the bone, and using special materials to aid healing. After 6 months, the dental implants were successfully placed and fitted with new teeth, resulting in a stable and natural-looking outcome.
