Multidisciplinary Approach to Correct Alveolar Bone Loss and Vertical Maxillary Deficiency to Restore Dento-Maxillofacial Aesthetics and Functional Ability

Several techniques have been reported to increase the amount of bone for maintain the architecture of the residual jaw bone crest, which decides the ideal placement of dental implants. Disagreement is still present among clinicians about ideal treatment as direct comparison among procedures is virtually impossible. The use of autogenous bone grafts for ridge augmentation is, on the other hand, recommended by most authors, due to the intrinsic properties of the bone. This case report is to restore the function and aesthetics of a patient with iatrogenic loss of maxillary anterior tooth with severe bone loss and a vertical maxillary deficiency with a contemporary multidisciplinary approach using Le fort I osteotomy, inlay and onlay bone graft, palate pedicle flap and eventual implant placement.
