The atrophic anterior maxilla has unique anatomic and structural features, the most signiﬁcant being that it is considered “the esthetic zone”. In that regard, the alveolar ridge augmentation aims to create adequate bone volume for the implant, as well as for creating appropriate tissue contour for optimal esthetic There is very little room for error in establishing proper form, function and esthetics of the restoration. Alveolar ridge augmentation in the anterior maxilla requires speciﬁc considerations, including, ﬂap design, mobilization, and adaptation. The thin mucosa also usually requires mucosal grafting and/or vestibulop
Implant therapy in this region also requires speciﬁc consideration. Modular Bone Augmentation (MBA) is based on the convergence of several components required for successful bone regeneration. MBA will employ different components based on requirements of individual patient and site. The application of MBA regeneration of alveolar bone and mucosa in the anterior maxilla will increase the likelihood of successful outcome and reduces potential complications.

Educational Objectives:

Classification of alveolar ridge deficiencies
Risk Assessment: Patient and site characteristics influence on outcome
Management of patient/site risks
Material Selection: Autogenous: methods and location of harvesting
Xenograft: is sintering temperature important?; Alloplast (HA, TCP, biphasic); Allograft
Leukocyte Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF)
Membrane selection: resorbable vs non-resorbable; cross-linked vs native collagen
Fixation system: MODfixUNIfix; Tenting screws; Membrane fixation
Flap design: achieving tension-free flap adaptation
Suture techniques: to prevent graft exposure
Graft and membrane stabilization
Decortication
Soft tissue management to optimize outcomes: VISTA, connective tissue graft; Vascularized Interpositional graft (VIP)
