Maxillary implant surgery on a patient with thalassemia: A case report

This case report describes the successful maxillary rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient with thalassemia minor. This rather common genetic disorder presented clinical implications for the placement of maxillary dental implants. The diagnostic evaluation for thalassemia and clinical manifestations are discussed. The surgical technique, implant biomaterial, and prosthetic phase of therapy were modified to accommodate the poor osseous architecture.
