In this case report, the reconstruction of a missing central incisor combined with severe bone loss is presented. After dental trauma in the childhood of the patient, the tooth #11 was root canal filled and replanted. At the age of 21, tooth #11 presented a root fracture, witch led to massive bone loss and loss of the tooth. A four-stage surgical protocol using an autologeous bone graft and connective tissue graft, followed by an implant with all-ceramic crown, was planned.
