Patient: The patient was a 49-year-old female with complaints of masticatory disturbance and esthetic problem caused by missing teeth in the right upper jaw. Previously she had visited our hospital because of pus from the right nasal cavity and an abscess in the buccal gingiva of the upper first molar. Then several teeth with poor prognosis were extracted and prosthetic treatment using dental implants was considered.
Discussion: In this case, implant treatment with sinus lift to the region of bone mass deficiency was applied. After confirming the horizontal jaw position using an occlusal splint, the final prosthetic treatment was performed without change of the occlusal vertical dimension.
Conclusion: The patient has been satisfied with the final prostheses which were free from any problems such as fracture or detachment.
