Various methods have been used to augment the ridge bone volume which includes bone grafting along with guided bone regeneration, ridge split technique, sinus lift procedure and distraction osteogenesis. This case report presents aesthetic rehabilitation by implant retained prosthesis in upper anterior region with large defect by combining bone augmentation with ridge split technique to enable implant placement.
