Abstract
The aesthetic restoration of dental implants in the anterior maxilla is a challenge for clinicians because it requires proper harmony in three following conditions; reconstruction of hard tissue, soft tissue, and aesthetic prosthesis. A newer technique, VIP-CT (Vacularized Interpositional Periosteal Connective Tissue) graft has been introduced as an alternative to these technique which allows the clinicians perform large volume soft tissue augmentation in esthetic sites with a single procedure. The advantages of the VIP-CT graft technique are that it allows the reconstruction of large soft tissue deficiency, with little constriction postoperatively. Furthermore, it facilitates improved hard tissue augmentation due to the additional blood supply and improved bone healing by mesenchymal cells. Moreover, this technique reduces patient discomfort and treatment time. This clinical report describes the procedure of bone augmentation during immediate implantation in facial dehiscence defect, especially Vascularized Interpositional Periosteal Connective Tissue(VIP-CT) graft for aesthetic anterior soft tissue.
