Abstract
Dental implants constitute a predictable alternative for the rehabilitation of edentulous jaws. However, the success of the treatment can be limited when severe atrophic alveolar ridges are present. For the treatment of these complex cases, several regeneration techniques have been developed, such as guided bone regeneration and block grafts. Within the last, it should be noted the Khoury technique. It is a procedure indicated for the regeneration of horizontal and vertical defects, through the obtention of autologous graft in form of thin plates, derived from mandibular external oblique line. A clinical case is presented, that consists in a great mandibular defect which was reconstructed by the Khoury technique. The defect was secondary to an implant failure, which was also related with nervous pathology.
