title: [Technical problems with superstructures for the maxilla].
abstract: The dental lab is an important factor in treating patients with severely resorbed maxillae with implants, but it still occurs that the dental technician is not or not enough involved in the treatment planning of these patients. In this article a number of frequently occurring problems is discussed, especially the number and the location of implants, the space for the superstructure and the planning of the costs. Some suggestions for improvements are proposed.
