CASE DESCRIPTION

The patient presented with partial edentulism and pain in the in the posterior upper jaw. At this time point the region was supplied with a partial denture temporarily fixed on the teeth #13, #23, #27 and #28.

Detailed diagnosis of the concerning area revealed advanced horizontal bone atrophy in the region #24-25, vertical bone loss in region #26, and signs of chronic sinusitis. Tooth #27 was found avital with advanced root caries. Tooth #28 presented with occlusal caries.

TREATMENT

Two-stage bone augmentation for implant placement with three implants in positions #24, #25 and #26 was planned.

Following removal of the denture and teeth extraction a lateral sinus window was created. Then socket preservation of the tooth #27, as well as sinus augmentation with additional lateral augmentation in the area #24-25 was performed using cerabone® +HyA. The augmented area was covered with Jason® membrane. Tooth #28 was temporarily saved and used as an abutment of the removal temporary restoration.

Implants were placed six months post-augmentation. Four months later, the implants were uncovered and loaded by use of system specific customized abutments and metal ceramic fixed partial denture.
