Abstract

PURPOSE: The edentulous severely atrophic maxilla, as consequence of alveolar bone resorption and pneumatisation of the maxillary sinus, represents a serious limitation to the implant rehabilitation. Implants insertion via palatal approach (PA), in combination with relatively minimally invasive techniques aimed at increasing bone volume without the use of autologous bone harvesting is a valid alternative among the options for the rehabilitation of the upper jaw.

CLINICAL CASE: In a 70-year-old female, with a severe maxillary atrophy, 6 spiral taper implants were placed with the PA, combined with the bilateral transcrestal elevation of both the sinus floors and nasal cavities; a further GBR, with resorbable pericardium membrane covering a termoplastic allograft associated to a xenograft, was performed. The second stage was performed after 6 months. Implant prosthetic functionalization was carried out in 4 months by placing the removable prosthesis in direct contact with the healing cup screws. After that period the case was finalized with a hybrid prosthesis. Clinical and radiographic follow-ups were carried out at 6 months and at one year after prosthetic finalization, during which no pathological signs were recorded.

CONCLUSIONS: The PA implant insertion described by the Authors, combined with bone augmentation procedures, performed in the same stage, may represent a valid and reliable solution to rehabilitate maxillary edentulous patients.
