Treatment including an orthodontic and implant prosthesis improves the occlusal connection and aesthetic appearance in the anterior region of the jaw. In this report, we describe a case of combined treatment of a patient with orthodontic abnormalities and implant therapy applied. Following the placement of braces and radiographs, the buds of the permanent upper right second premolar, lower left and right second premolars were found to be absent. Implant treatment of the upper and lower jaws was undertaken after the age of 18. Prior to the placement of the upper jaw implant and after extensive examination and discussion of OCG, sinus procedans was identified and a lateral sinus lift was required. A bone graft and a collagen membrane were used to perform the operation to raise the maxillary sinus. This case underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to achieving an aesthetic result.
