This patient presented for rehabilitation of an extended maxillary edentulous space. In addition, the bone was missing horizontally and vertically. The patient was seeking a fixed anteroposterior rehabilitation of the maxilla. Bone was insufficient horizontally and vertically and autologous bone grafting seemed necessary. However, the patient could be rehabilitated without any grafting by using artificial pink gingiva and implants with bone expansion properties. Immediate provisionalization could also be delivered on the same day as surgery.

Treatment Planning

Simulation with 5 NobelActive implants in the antero-posterior area.

Site #22 (FDI), situation of the planned implant in the mesio-distal direction.

Site #22 (FDI), transverse section of the site.

Site #22 (FDI), transverse section at the site with measurements of the width of the alveolar crest. Note that there is no sufficient width to host an implant of Ø 3.5mm.

Site #22 (FDI), transverse section with the planned implant, a Ø 3.5x15 NobelActive implant. There is not enough bone width to obtain a vestibular lamella of at least 1mm.

Site #11 (FDI), situation of the planned implant in the mesio-distal direction.

Site #11 (FDI),transverse section.

Site #11 (FDI), transverse section of the site with measurements of the width of the alveolar crest. Note that there is no sufficient width to host an implant of Ø 3.5mm.

Site #22 (FDI), transverse section with the planned implant, a Ø 3.5 x 15 NobelActive implant. There is not enough width to get a vestibular lamella of at least 1mm.

Site #13 (FDI), situation of the planned implant in the mesio-distal direction.

Site #13 (FDI) ,transverse section.

Site #13 (FDI), transverse section with measurements of the width of the alveolar crest. Note that there is no sufficient bone width to host an implant of Ø 4.3mm.

Site #13 (FDI), transverse section with the planned implant, a Ø 4.3 x 15 NobelActive implant. There is not enough bone width to get a vestibular lamella of at least 1mm.

Site #15 (FDI), situation of the planned implant in the mesio-distal direction.

Site #15 (FDI), transverse section.

Site #15 (FDI), tranverse section with measurements of the width and height of the alveolar crest. Note that there is enough width to host a standard implant of Ø 4.3mm.

Site #15 (FDI), transverse section with the planned implant, a Ø 4.3 x 15 NobelActive implant. There is enough bone width to get a sound vestibular lamella.

Site #16 (FDI), situation of the planned implant in the mesio-distal direction.

Site #16 (FDI), transverse section.

Site #16 (FDI), transverse section with measurements of the width and height of the alveolar crest. Note that there is enough width to host a standard implant of Ø 4.3mm.

Site #16 (FDI), transverse section with the planned implant, a Ø 4.3 x 15 NobelActive implant. There is enough bone width to get a sound vestibular lamella.

Progress & Completion

Surgical guide.

Occlusal view with the guide in place before surgery.

1-week control after surgery, at suture removal.

Note the low smile line.

2-month control. Soft tissue healing is well advanced, note the long teeth of the provisional prosthesis.

5-month control. Healing was uneventful and the final prosthetic steps can be undertaken.
