title: [Prevention of substance loss in an edentulous site: report of case combining gingival graft and coral particles].
abstract: Ridge collapse is often seen after tooth extraction and grafting procedure is used in this technique. This case report presents, after block section of two maxillary incisors, the use of an occlusal epithelio-connective tissue graft, followed by grafting of coral particles. Clinical results, six months post-operatively, show a total maintenance of edentulous ridge volume and height. A biopsy at the same interval shows fibrous tissue surrounding coral particles, giant cells in some areas, but also some areas of calcification.
