Sinus membrane elevation and implant placement

Mini-invasive Implant Placement in Combination with Maxillary Sinus Membrane Perforation During Transcrestal Sinus Floor Elevation: A Retrospective Study.

The aim of this retrospective study was to report preliminary outcomes of a modified technique for transcrestal sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implant placement. A total of 165 implants were placed in 110 patients using a modified Summers technique. During implant site preparation, after fracturing the sinus floor, a small perforation of the membrane was made using the first osteotome....

Sinus bone formation and implant survival after sinus membrane elevation and implant placement: a 1- to 6-year follow-up study.

OBJECTIVES To investigate the long-term clinical and radiographic results of the maxillary sinus membrane elevation technique where implants were inserted in a void space created by the elevation of the sinus membrane without adding any graft material. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 84 patients were subjected to 96 membrane elevation procedures and simultaneous placement of 239 implants. Ch...

Osteotome Sinus Floor Elevation in Severely-Resorbed Residual Bone and Immediate Implant Placement without Bone Grafting

Continuous advancements in the field of implant dentistry have provided clinicians with various treatment options to facilitate the placement of dental implants in patients with vertical bone deficits in the posterior maxilla. Today, one of the most common ways to compensate for inadequate vertical bone height is to elevate the sinus floor by tenting of the schneiderian membrane by the implant ...

Osteotome single-stage dental implant placement with and without sinus elevation: a clinical report.

Forty-three sites in 16 patients were selected for placement of implants using osteotomes in a single-stage surgical technique. Most sites were treated to enhance bone quality. Sixteen sites in the posterior maxilla had sinus elevation performed in conjunction with implant placement. No soft tissue coverage of the implant cover screw was attempted in either the sinus-elevated or the nonelevated...
