It is difficult to apply a denture to a severely resorbed maxilla. In such cases, reconstruction of the severely resorbed maxilla could be a useful procedure for preprosthetic surgery.
Recently, occlusal rehabilitation by implant-supported prostheses has been performed. In severe cases, endosseous implants have been inserted after such reconstructions as sinus lift augmentation, onlay graft, GBR, and distraction osteogenesis.
We performed reconstruction of a severely resorbed maxilla in combination with Le Fort I osteotomy, interpositional iliac bone grafting, and the placement of endosseous implants.
After wearing the implant-supported overdenture the patientʼs occulusion improved considerably and to the patientʼs satisfaction.
