Dental Implants Can Facilitate Orthognathic Surgery In A Patient With Severe Maxillary Atrophy

The surgical treatment of dentofacial deformities is performed routinely and predictably on dentate patients. However, when dealing with the edentulous maxilla, treatment becomes more challenging and less predictable. In these cases, the combination of orthognathic surgery (OS) and osseointegrated implants (OI) may be a viable alternative to enable fixed rehabilitation. A patient with an edentulous and atrophic maxilla with maxillo-mandibular discrepancy and high aesthetic requirement, was treated with a combination of osseointergrated implants and orthognathic surgery.
