title: [Augmentation of alveolar ridge defects: autologous bone transplant from the zygomatic alveolar crest--a new technique].
abstract: The insertion of dental implants with simultaneous loss of alveolar bone still represents a challenge. A traumatical tooth loss within the range of the front of the maxillary is frequently connected with a clear substance defect. The goal of a pre-implantologically treatment must be therefore the hard tissue reconstruction of the defect. Thus the implant camp is optimized and the prosthetical necessary implant position is guaranteed. In this case report the reconstruction of a vertical and horizontal bone loss with a transplant from the Crista zygomatico alveolaris is represented. The withdrawal of the bone transplant took place under indulgence of the vestibular membrane of the maxillary sinus by means of piezosurgery. After an appropriate healing time the single tooth gap was supplied with an ITI implant of the company Straumann (Freiburg, Germany).
