Abstract

Oral rehabilitation of mandibular atrophy involves restoring function and aesthetics to patients who have experienced significant bone loss. This condition, often resulting from tooth loss, aging, or systemic diseases, presents challenges for dental practitioners. Effective rehabilitation requires a combination of surgical and prosthetics. In this case report, we offered a surgical solution with bone grafts, membrane use, and insertion of dental implants in one surgical step, improving patients’ ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.
