This case file represents severely deficient maxillary anterior alveolar ridge being only 1.2 mm of bone width and implant site requires a hard tissue base foundation. To fulfill this requirement, mandibular ramus block bone is used to improve bone width. After 6 months of the graft surgery, 6.8 mm gain in bone width was observed, implant was placed and till now it was fighting fit in terms of function and aesthetics.
