Successful implants should fulfill both functional and esthetic needs of patients. Especially on maxillary anterior region, many surgeons undergo difficult procedures because of improper quantity and quality of soft and hard tissue. To overcome these problems, regenerative procedures such as guided bone regeneration(GBR) and ridge spreading are often used. In this study, 2 implants were installed on maxillary anterior region using ridge spreading and GBR procedure. Before implanta tion, osteotomes were used to spread and compact alveolar bone. After insertion of implants, allograft and alloplast were grafted on buccal concavity, and surgical site were closed using non-resorbable membrane. There were no complications during surgery and the result was satisfying.
