Core Tip	The two bone blocks sandwich technique refers to two autogenous bone blocks harvested from alveolar bone in maxillary anterior edentulous region, including one small bone block and one big bone block. The small bone block is harvested from the apical zone of the big bone block, and it is sandwiched between the big bone block and the palatal bone plate. And this technique may be an alternative treatment option in augmenting severe horizontal bone deficiency of anterior maxilla.
