We are aiming for minimal invasive techniques for the benefit of our patients. Nevertheless, there are many occasions in which we need to repair the anatomy and topography of the atrophic site for better positioning of implants and for their longevity. This step by step surgical technique video presents the treatment sequence for recovering severe vertical and horizontal posterior maxillary atrophy for optimal implant placement.
Vertical augmentation is achieved by using:
First the anatomy: performing sinus augmentation via lateral wall technique.
Second, autologous bone block graft for further recovery of the vertical deficiency decreasing the enlarged inter-maxillary distance. Horizontal augmentation is achieved by using autologous bone block. 
Part II will depict implant placement and soft tissue manipulations.
