Description
Nissaf Daouahi, Yosra Gassara, Afef Slim, and Chokri Abdellatif report staged implant repair in the upper jaw in a 2026 case. Back upper jaw work is hard due to sinus growth and thin bone. A forty-eight-year-old woman lacked a first molar and chewed poorly. Neighboring premolars were malaligned with poor outlook.
Scans showed advanced ridge shrinkage and under six millimeters of bone height. Ridge preservation came first but gained too little height. Premolars were removed with socket grafting and a membrane. Implants were placed with a gentle sinus lift and grafting at once. Both implants achieved primary stability at placement. Later, soft tissue grafting widened and thickened the gum around them. Screw-retained ceramic crowns were fitted after tissue matured. Two-year follow-up anchors the report's outcome claims. The authors present staging as a low-morbidity route to predictable results.
