title: Onlay bone augmentation and bilateral open sinus lifting with simultaneous implant placement in a cherubic patient.
abstract: A 20-year-old edentulous woman, who was previously treated with the shave of the inferior border of the mandible and malar prominent region for aesthetic facial contouring, was selected for full mouth rehabilitation of the maxillomandibular region. The patient was treated with bilateral open sinus lifting through a lateral approach in the posterior of the maxilla and an onlay bone graft with lateral ramus as a donor site in the mandible anterior. Eight implants in the maxilla and 7 in the mandible were inserted, and implant-supported prostheses were fabricated. The 18-month follow-up showed good bone condition that suggests graft interventions and implant treatment as a good treatment modality for patients with cherubism.
