Different graft materials and techniques are suggested based on the number of bony walls that remain after the tooth is removed. If the implant can’t be inserted within the bone contours, bone augmentation must be performed, and the graft must be stabilized with a membrane or a thin bone block graft. In the present study, two cases are presented both with small bone defects on the buccal plate. Bone augmentation with autogenous bone graft was performed in one case, respectively titanium implants with zirconia necks were used in the second case. It was demonstrated that titanium implants with zirconia necks are a good choice in some cases where small parts of the buccal plate are missing.
