A conservative method for removal of histologic block tissue sections has been presented. Its application permits the operator to conserve a portion of lingual alveolar bone in the mandibular anterior region to allow maintenance of a sufficient amount of ridge bone and tissue for construction of a functional and esthetic removable or fixed prosthetic appliance. This block section procedure may be modified to permit more conservation of human tissues in those studies involving human subjects.
