Pterygoid implant for atrophic posterior maxilla

A two-short-implant-supported molar restoration in atrophic posterior maxilla: A finite element analysis

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the stress distribution of 2-short implants (2SIs) installed in a severely atrophic maxillary molar site. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three different diameters of internal connection implants were modeled: narrow platform (NP), regular platform (RP), and wide platform (WP). The maxillary first molars were restored with one implant or two short implan...

Dental Implant Placement in Inadequate Posterior Maxilla

Paradigm Shift in the Management of the Atrophic Posterior Maxilla

When the posterior maxilla is atrophic, the reference standard of care would be to perform sinus augmentation with an autologous bone graft through the lateral approach and delayed implant placement. However, placement of short implants with the osteotome sinus floor elevation technique and without graft can be proposed for an efficient treatment of clinical cases with a maxillary residual bone...

The use of cancellous block allograft for sinus floor augmentation with simultaneous implant placement in the posterior atrophic maxilla.

BACKGROUND The simultaneous placement of dental implants during sinus augmentation is advocated in cases in which >or=4 to 5 mm of alveolar bone exists coronally to the sinus floor. The aim of the present study was to assess the survival rate of dental implants placed during sinus augmentation and stabilized by the use of cancellous freeze-dried block allograft. Residual alveolar ridge height <...
