Abstract
There are some different techniques recently developed for improving abnormal from of alveolar ridge where the prosthetic treatment is needed. The grafting of great amount of tissue is necessary in type II and type III case of (Seivert) classification for correcting the defect. Autogenous bone is reported as the best choice for grafting. In fact the amount of bone available from donor site is limited. Mentle area of oral cavity is considered to be the best site for donating bone by its easily approach character during operation. Ridge augmentation with autogenous bone taken from mental area to correct from of alveolar ridge in maxillary anterior edentulous case will be reported.
