SUMMARY: Bone grafting for reconstruction of severe alveolar atrophy in the maxilla has been the method of choice for many years. Onlay grafting is mainly used to repair defects in the alveolar process, or to increase the width of a thin alveolar process. Grafting is performed either by means of sinus lifting procedures, or local augmentation for single teeth, or by means of more extensive procedures, like maxillary osteotomy with interpositional bone grafts. The severe alveolar resorption in the maxilla is often combined with an increasing sagittal dis- crepancy between the jaws, which to some extent can be corrected by a maxillary osteotomy.
This case highlights successful jaw bone augmentation and implant osseointegration, following Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy and autogenous interpositional bone grafts obtained from iliac crest.
KEY WORDS: Autogenous graft, iliac crest, resorbed jaw, maxillary osteotomy.
