Indirect Sinus Lift with Implant Placement in Maxillary Premolar Region

Maxillary Sinus Lift Up: An Indirect Approach for Implant Placement in Posterior Maxilla

The posterior maxilla presents several challenges to the implantologist. Implant dentistry has become an excellent treatment modality since its inception into the modern era of dentistry. When patients present with deficient alveolar ridges, it could jeopardize the application of implant dentistry. This problem is especially magnified in the posterior maxilla where ridge resorption and sinus pn...

Sinus floor elevation via the maxillary premolar extraction socket with immediate implant placement: a case series.

BACKGROUND When immediate implant placement is considered for teeth with close proximity to the sinus floor, apical extension of the osteotomy is significantly limited, and often a staged approach is used. Implant placement into fresh extraction sockets and sinus floor manipulation using bone-added osteotome sinus floor elevation with implant placement are techniques most often used independent...

An indirect sinus lift with ridge splitting procedure for implant placement: A case report

Implant placement becomes complicated when the height and width of the bone is compromised especially in the posterior maxillary region due to the presence of sinus. This case report presents the rehabilitation of the left maxillary premolar region by using indirect sinus lift and ridge splitting followed by immediate implant placement where the bone height and bone width was compromised. It he...

Sinus tenting for posterior maxillary implant placement.

Three-Dimensional Evaluation of Maxillary Sinus Septa for Implant Placement

BACKGROUND The aim of our study was to investigate, in 3 dimensions, the maxillary sinus septa as an alternative site for dental implant placement to avoid sinus lift procedures. MATERIAL AND METHODS We selected 100 dentate and 100 edentate patients with the presence of a maxillary sinus septum by reviewing a larger cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) database from the Department of Oral and...
