Reducing patient morbidity is one of the challenging goals of proper surgical techniques. The rehabilitation success begins with a good surgical plan. Scientifically proven biomaterials are excellent options to overcome the lack of autologous bone for maxillary reconstructions. This case report presents a clinical case of maxillary reconstruction combining guided bone regeneration with xenograft blocks and maxillary sinus elevation. This technique achieved maxillary rehabilitation with a fixed implant-supported prosthesis of a challenging case. The clinical case has an 18-month follow-up with no major complications and excellent clinical and radiographic results.
