title: [Immediate repair of labial bone defects].
abstract: In this paper some surgical techniques are described to prevent or restore the characteristic and esthetically disturbing resorption defect in the anterior alveolar process as a result of tooth loss. One-stage approaches are described. Submucosal implants are used in combination with conventional fixed prosthodontics. If a single tooth replacement by means of an implant is aimed at, the split-crest technique may be a valuable alternative for an autologous bone graft or guided bone regeneration procedure.
