Implication

Case report demonstrates successful implant stabilization in severe alveolar ridge atrophy, highlighting the viability of site-specific augmentation techniques.

Key Points

To describe the oral rehabilitation of severe posterior maxillary and mandibular alveolar ridge atrophy using lateral sinus floor elevation and ridge split technique followed by implant placement.
Intervention in a single patient with severe posterior maxillary atrophy (residual bone height <2.5 mm) and a knife-edge posterior mandibular ridge.
Performed lateral sinus floor elevation and mandibular ridge split technique followed by dental implant placement.
Restored dentition using an implant-supported FP3 prosthesis, precision attachments, tooth-supported bridges, and crowns, with clinical and radiographic evaluation at a two-year follow-up.
All implants remained stable without mobility or complications through the two-year follow-up.
Clinical assessments showed healthy peri-implant tissues with acceptable probing depths and no bleeding on probing or suppuration.
Radiographic imaging confirmed stable marginal bone levels and intact graft sites.
