Abstract
Aim: To report on a surgical procedure with osteotomy in the posterior region of the maxilla and lifting of the maxillary sinus floor for the installation of implants and rehabilitation with implant-supported crowns. Case report: A 54-year-old female patient was admitted to the dental clinic, complaining that she was dissatisfied with her smile and the missing teeth. After the clinical, radiographic, and tomographic examinations, a well as a case study of a semi-adjustable articulator, multidisciplinary planning was carried out using surgical, endodontic, periodontic, orthodontic, and prosthetic approaches. A lack of interocclusal space was observed in the posterior region of the maxilla. After osteotomy in tuberosity, maxillary sinus lift using an autogenous bone graft was performed, and three implants were installed. After the osseointegration period, provisional crowns were placed, followed by definitive metal-ceramic crowns. Conclusion: The surgical techniques used in this clinical case made it possible to install implants in a single clinical session for prosthetic rehabilitation.
