    Abstract:
    A severely atrophic maxilla can be restored by bone grafts to allow the insertion of implants. We present 30 consecutive patients treated with autogenous inlay and onlay bone grafts from the iliac crest to the floor of the maxillary sinus and the alveolar crest. A total of 200 implants were inserted 4-6 months after bone grafting. A mean vertical increase in bone thickness of 14mm was achieved. After a mean bone loss of 1.3mm during the first year after bone grafting only minimal resorption was observed during the second and third year. Seven implants failed to integrate and a further four implants were lost during follow-up.
