title: [A modified technique of ridge reconstruction in extreme maxillary atrophy].
abstract: A ridge augmentation procedures for extremely atrophied upper jaws is presented. Compared with the use of a bone graft alone, the permanent integration of a titanium mesh reduces the loss of vertical dimension by resorption to a minimum. This is confirmed by the results of three reconstructed ridges that were followed up for 3 years. The indications and the technical procedure are discussed in detail.
