Aim:To evaluate the efficacy of autogenous and composite graft in anterior maxilla for implant placement. Material and methods: A prospective, double blinded, randomised controlled study was conducted among 10 subjects between 2014 and 2015 who sustained injury due to road traffic accident associated with avulsion of anterior maxillary teeth and loss of labial cortical bone. These subjects were randomly categorized into two groups. Group A consisted of 5 subjects in whom autogenous chin graft was used to augment anterior maxilla while in Group B having another 5 subjects, composite graft (mixture ofcrushed alveolar bone andallograft - Bi-Oss powder) was used. All the patients were evaluated clinically for donor and recipient site morbidity, healing of soft tissue, and amount of bone formed with resorption pattern radiographically. Results: There was no significant recipient site morbidity found in Group B, whereas in Group A all subjects manifested with mild swelling and pain (Visual analog sale score >3 on 10cm scale) and 1 subject has mild paresthesia of lower lip for few weeks. Conclusion: Both the types of grafts used for augmentation of anterior maxilla prior to implant placement presented with the same amount of bone formation, graft resorption and healing of soft tissues. However, there was a difference noticed in recipient site morbidity and torque obtained which was in favour of using a composite graft.
