Abstract
This report presents our experience with 12 consecutive patients treat ed by the method Of SAILER19, comprising bone grafting to the floor of the nose and the maxillary sinus after a Le Fort I inferior repositio ning of the maxilla followed by immediate implantation of endosseous i mplants. The corticocancellous grafts were harvested from the iliac cr est. Fifty-nine implants were inserted in the bone grafts and eight in the adjacent nongrafted bone. Fourteen implants (21%) had to be remov ed because of nonintegration, of which 10 had been placed in two patie nts. The follow-up ranged from 11 to 24 months. No implants have been lost after loading. Six patients received fixed prostheses, and four o verdentures. The importance of complete peroperative positional stabil ity of the bone grafts and implants is emphasized.
