Cone beam computed tomographic evaluation of a maxillary alveolar ridge reconstruction with iliac crest graft and implants

J Craniofac Surg. 2012 Jan;23(1):e12-4. doi: 10.1097/SCS.0b013e3182420789.

Abstract

The present article discusses an atrophic maxilla reconstruction with iliac crest bone block and particulate grafts and dental implants. Onlay block grafts were used to restore bone volume of the anterior maxilla, whereas bilateral sinus floor augmentation was performed using a particulate graft. Ten months after the grafting surgery, 9 dental implants were placed to rehabilitate the case. Results of a 7-year follow-up were obtained clinically and by cone beam computed tomographic images.
