Objective: Various procedures have been described for alveolar bone augmentation. Surgical procedures for horizontal bone augmentation have been studied with high predictable results, low complication rates, and implant survival rates of 97–100%. However, vertical bone augmentation is a more biologically challenging technique and has been associated with higher complication rates. In addition, these procedures require staged operations and long treatment times. The bone ring technique offer for vertical and horizontal augmentation and simultaneous implant placement. Furthermore, the bone ring technique might be a second chance for failed or incompleted recovery from previous augmentation procedures. Case: A 24-year-old male patient applied for missing upper anterior teeth, which he lost owing to trauma in childhood. It was decided to rehabilitate with vertical and horizontal augmentation of alveolar bone and dental implants. First, it was performed guided bone regeneration with titanium mesh membrane and mixed xenograft-allograft rate of 1:1. Then, the titanium membrane was extracted from area after 8 month and observed the bone was still soft had some deficiency. It was decided to put off operation 2 month and complete to 10 months. Eventually, it was performed implant with bone ring augmentation for complete the vertical and horizontal deficiencies. Conclusion: The bone ring technique might be an option as a salvage procedure for failed or incomplete healing from previous augmentation procedures
