Background The congenital oligodontia in maxilla could result in a significant skeletal jaw malformation such as atrophic maxilla and severe skeletal class III malocclusion. Since there is no referable dentition in anterior maxilla, the orthognathic surgery and oral rehabilitation for those patients becomes more challenging and less predictable. Materials and methods We hereby present a new sequencing of interdisciplinary treatments, including calvarial bone grafting, installation of implant-supported provisional prosthesis, bimaxillary orthognathic surgery, and the final installation of dental implants and the fixed prosthesis. Results The facial esthetics and function of the permanent prosthesis were satisfactory, with a remarkable improvement in the maxillomandibular relation, adequate horizontal and vertical repositioning of the maxilla, and appropriate incisor exposure. Conclusion Although more surgeries and longer treatment period may be required due to the interdisciplinary treatment plan, better aesthetic and functional outcomes may be acquired by this reported procedure in the long-term for young patients.
