The purpose of this article was to report the clinical and radiographic findings about a case of a man affected by severely atrophic maxilla to demonstrate the clinical proceedings associated with alveolar reconstruction destined for dental implant rehabilitation. The 3-dimensional augmentation of the alveolar ridge with the use of fresh-frozen bone graft, platelet-rich fibrin membrane, and titanium mesh suggests potential benefits to the development of the bone formation physiology. The treatment combination may result in an optimal prognosis and represents an option for reconstruction of bone defects. At 8 months after surgery, no evidence of complications was observed; the clinical examination and computerized tomographic scan revealed bone formation and installed implant stability.
