Abstract: The article focuses on a multi-procedural approach to implant treatment for replacing over-retained deciduous maxillary canines, particularly in cases where the permanent canines are absent. It discusses the clinical challenges associated with implant placement due to insufficient ridge width and the necessity of bone grafting to ensure proper support for the implants. The case presented involves a 31-year-old Asian female who underwent orthodontics, extraction of the deciduous canines, block grafting, and subsequent implant placement to achieve aesthetic improvement in her smile. The article emphasizes the importance of careful treatment planning and the use of various grafting techniques to achieve successful outcomes in such complex dental cases.
