Direct maxillary sinus floor augmentation for simultaneous dental implant placement

Rabbit maxillary sinus augmentation model with simultaneous implant placement: differential responses to the graft materials

PURPOSE This study was performed to establish an experimental rabbit model for single-stage maxillary sinus augmentation with simultaneous implant placement. METHODS Twelve mature New Zealand white rabbits were used for the experiments. The rabbit maxillary sinuses were divided into 3 groups according to sinus augmentation materials: blood clot (BC), autogenous bone (AB), and bovine-derived h...

Maxillary Sinus Augmentation for Dental Implants

Pneumatization of the maxillary sinus secondary to posterior maxillary tooth loss is an extremely common finding. Significant atrophy of the maxilla prevents dental implant placement in this region. Grafting the floor of the maxillary sinus has emerged as the most common surgical modality for correcting this inadequacy. Graft material is introduced into the space created inferior to the sinus m...

Sinus tenting for posterior maxillary implant placement.

Sinus membrane elevation and simultaneous insertion of dental implants: a new surgical technique in maxillary sinus floor augmentation.

Endosseous implants are frequently used for prosthetic reconstruction in the edentulous patient. Sufficient volume and density of the alveolar bone for implant integration and load bearing are prerequisites for good clinical outcome. Bone resorption following the extraction of posterior maxillary teeth sometimes results in severe loss of bone in vertical and ⁄ or horizontal dimensions, which ma...

Endoscopic and ultrasonographic evaluation of the maxillary sinus after combined sinus floor augmentation and implant insertion.

OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was a radiographic, endoscopic, and ultrasound follow-up of the maxillary sinus comparing 2 techniques of sinus floor augmentation. STUDY DESIGN Sonograms, radiographs (Waters' view) of the sinuses, and endoscopy served before and during surgery to evaluate the maxillary sinus. One week after the operation, ultrasound and radiograph follow-up (Waters' view) were...
