Clinical Case Report
Autologous Iliac-Crest Graft for Anterior Blocks and Bilateral Sinus Floor Elevation in a Completely Edentulous Maxilla
A 56-year-old woman presented for treatment with complete edentulism of the maxilla. She had been using a complete removable denture since she was relatively young (age 30). Her chief complaint at presentation was lack of retention of the upper denture and a desire for a better restoration in order to improve retention, function, and esthetics. An initial clinical examination showed that the anterior maxilla was moderately atrophic both horizontally and vertically, also revealing a vertical deficiency of the posterior alveolar process. The mandible included natural teeth from 45 to 35, with previous extrusion of the anterior teeth that was being orthodontically treated. Also, there were two external hexagon dental implants at sites 46 and 36 that had been inserted elsewhere at a previous point in time. As the conditions in the mandible were healthy, including the teeth and the two implants, the patient had no complaints there.
