I 17 case report _ CBCT in surgery I cone beam4_2014 Before treatment was started, the diagnosis was confirmed and we established that the patient could be treated under general anaesthesia. The diagnosticinformationwasobtainedfromCTscans and radiographs of his maxillae, mandible and skull to check the bone skull density of the cortical externalandinternalsurfaces.Surgicalintervention demanded very precise diagnostics, which would have been very difficult to obtain without CBCT. The surgery was performed under general an- aesthesia (the treatment was performed at French Dental Clinic in Dubai). We first prepared the maxil- laeandmandibletoreceivetheparietalbonegrafts. We then collected the bone from the cortical exter- nal surface of the parietal bone and transplanted it to the maxillae and mandible, and secured it with surgical screws and then sutures. After a healing period of three months, we established that the graft had been successful and had been properly integrated into the jawbone. We were extremely pleased with the results. Nine implants were then placed in the maxillae and six in the mandible. After another three months, the final restoration was seated. Theentiretreatmentprocesstookapproximately six months, but the results achieved were worth it for both the patient and us. The patient has been given the opportunity to have his own teeth without the compromise of wearing dentures at such a young age._ Dr Izdihar Alchab French Dental Clinic Room 2026,2nd Floor,Block C,Al-Razi Building Dubai Healthcare City Dubai,UAE www.frenchdentalclinic.com cone beam_contact Fig. 6Fig. 5 Fig. 9 Fig. 8Fig. 7 CBE0414_16-17_Alchab 28.11.14 11:35 Seite 2 CBE0414_16-17_Alchab 28.11.1411:35 Seite 2
