Abstract

The aim of preprosthetic reconstructive surgery of the resorbed maxilla is to create sufficient bone of good quality for implant placement. The classification of the edentulous jaws by Cawood and Howell is mostly used as point of departure in planning preprosthetic reconstructive surgery. In this review article some procedures and results are mentioned as described in recent literature.
