Sinus floor elevation using tricalcium phosphate plate

Sinus floor elevation using platelet-rich plasma and beta-tricalcium phosphate: case report and histological evaluation.

Maxillary sinus floor elevation surgery

Although augmentation of the maxillary sinus floor with autogenous bone grafts has become a well established preimplantology procedure, its effect on the function of the maxillary sinus has not been the subject of prospective human studies. In this prospective study the effects of sinus floor augmentation on maxillary sinus performance were evaluated. Seventeen consecutive patients who were to ...

Long-term radiographic assessment of maxillary sinus floor augmentation using beta-tricalcium phosphate: analysis by cone-beam computed tomography

BACKGROUND The long-term stability of maxillary sinus floor augmentation with β-TCP remains largely unknown. We report the long-term assessment of volumetric changes in maxillary sinus floor augmentation with β-TCP by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). METHODS The subjects included 30 patients who underwent maxillary sinus floor augmentation using β-TCP and 58 implant placement for unilate...

Sinus floor elevation utilizing the transalveolar approach.

A transalveolar approach for sinus floor elevation with subsequent placement of dental implants was first suggested by Tatum in 1986. In 1994, Summers described a different transalveolar approach using a set of tapered osteotomes with increasing diameters. The transalveolar approach of sinus floor elevation, also referred to as 'osteotome sinus floor elevation', the 'Summers technique' or the '...

Maxillary sinus-floor elevation: an animal model.

OBJECTIVES To find an animal model for modified Caldwell-Luc procedure training. The animal model should have (1) a proper cortical thickness in the lateral wall; (2) a similar morphology and resistance of the Schneiderian membrane in humans; and, finally, (3) an oral approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twelve fresh heads (four Merino sheep, four Murciano-Granadina goats and four Large-White pigs...
