case_images: Likewise, as a sequel to the intervention of the palatal fissure, he presented a midline oronasal fistula (Figure 1).
case_images: Panoramic radiography and CT scan were performed prior to placing the implants, which showed severe atrophy of the upper jaw, significant oroantral communication, and partial absence of the premaxilla.. CT: computed tomography.

case_images: Aparicio et al. As required by this technique,   a CT scan was obtained to study the anatomy of the sinus and the alveolar crest to determine the optimal placement of the zygomatic implants (Figure 3).
case_images: A panoramic radiography was performed postoperatively.

case_images: A panoramic radiograph was obtained postoperatively (Figure 4).
case_images: A CT scan was performed 6 months after surgery to assess the implants and the health of the sinus before proceeding with the definitive prosthesis.. CT: computed tomography.

case_images: A CT scan was performed 6 months after the surgery (Figure 5) to evaluate the integration of the implants and the condition of the maxillary sinus, and after that, a new panoramic radiograph was obtained with the definitive prosthesis (Figure 6).
case_images: The patient was satisfied with his appearance.

case_images: Masticatory function was restored, and the patient was satisfied with his appearance (Figure 7).
case_images: The current prosthesis and oral condition of the patient show healthy gums and implants, despite poor hygiene and inadequate patient care. This indicates that, despite suboptimal maintenance, the implants remain stable.
