title: [The atrophic maxilla. Rehabilitation by bone reconstruction, implants and permanent or removable dentures].
abstract: Maxillary bone reconstruction in combination with placement of endosseous dental implants is a new treatment modality for patients suffering from maxillary atrophy and difficulties with wearing removable prosthesis. Among 88 patients the experiences with and their satisfaction at parts of the treatment were investigated. Patients could express their appreciation in a 1-5 scale (1 = bad, 5 = good). The satisfaction at the total treatment was given the mean figure 4.1 +/- 0.9. Ninety percent of the patients would go through the treatment again when necessary.
