Panoramic radiograph of the bone tissue. In red circle: the area with the most pronounced atrophy of the alveolar ridge of the upper jaw

After infiltration anesthesia, teeth #16, #17 and #27 removed, a vestibular incision was made and the mucoperiosteal flap was skeletonized. Formation of access to the anterior and lateral walls of both maxillary sinuses with mobilization of the Schneiderian membrane

Isolation of the oroantral anastomosis with collagen membrane Evolution. In positions #17, #12, #22, #25, #27, implants installed according to the V-II-V “All-on-4” protocol. Implant installed in position #15 using a delayed loading protocol

Panoramic radiograph 6 months after implantation with a permanent prosthesis installed on the upper jaw. In oroantral anastomosis of the upper jaw there is a significant increase in bone tissue with the restoration of a new anterior maxillary wall on the right
