Abstract
A 19-year-old female was referred by her dental practitioner for the restor ation of missing maxillary lateral incisors and canines. Ridge augmentation was required. This was undertaken using mandibular tori as the sites for h arvesting bone. The grafting was successful and the spaces were subsequentl y restored using resin-bonded bridgework. The case reports that mandibular tori provide a local and convenient source of bone for ridge augmentation p rocedures.
