We describe a case with a severely resorbed atrophic edentulous ridge in both the maxilla and mandible. The maxilla was reconstructed using a sinus-lifting procedure and onlay bone graft. The mandible was reconstructed by anterior osteotomy with an interpositional sandwich iliac bone graft at the symphysis area, subperiosteally with iliac bone chips mixed with hydroxylapatite bilaterally at the posterior atrophic ridge, and vestibuloplasty with a split thickness skin graft (STSG). After full-mouth implant rehabilitation, a 5-year follow-up of this case shows a satisfactory result.
