title: Restoration of the resorbed maxilla: a multidisciplinary approach.
abstract: The need for a multidisciplinary approach in implant restorations is well recognized today. This presentation describes the aesthetic restoration of the inadequate maxilla, involving augmentation of the grafting site, implant placement in the posterior regions to support the anterior restorations, and crown-and-bridge preparation. The learning objective of this article is a better understanding and execution of the multidisciplinary approach.
