Esthetics play an important role in dentistry along with functioning prosthesis. Anterior maxilla is a high esthetic demand region[2]. Achieving esthetics in anterior maxilla is a challenge independent to the type of restoration[1]. Achieving excellence in anterior rehabilitations include knowledge in esthetics and preservation without damaging much tissues. Reconstruction of the soft tissue loss after pathologic resection needs special techniques[2]. Many techniques can be used to restore the lost alveolar hard and soft tissues[1]. Various soft tissue augmentation procedures are available to correct the ridge defects in anterior region[3]. The newer technique , namely Vascularized Inter-positional Periosteal Connective Tissue flap[VIP-CT], having the potential to augment predictable amount of tissue and has many benefits when compared to other techniques[3]. This article discusses in detail the importance of Vascularized Inter-positional Periosteal Connective Tissue flap in oral surgery.
