INTRODUCTION The horizontal bony canal in the lateral maxillary wall is the site of anastomosis between the arterial branches from the posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAa) and the infraorbital artery. This anatomic structure is known as the 'alveolar antral artery'. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a literature review. The anatomic location of the alveolar antral artery in the lateral ...

This article histologically and clinically presents a case report showing two retrieved implants that were placed simultaneously at the time of the antral augmentation. These implants were retrieved 2.5 years after placement and 2 years after loading. To our knowledge, this is the first human histological case report of implants that were simultaneously placed with a sinus lift and loaded.

We report here on our application of the socket lift technique to create a transplant socket for the transplanted maxillary molar. These outcomes suggest that this technique is likely to be effective for tooth transplantation when the maxillary sinus bottom is close to the alveolar crest.

Purpose. To investigate the regenerative results obtained with the association of bone marrow aspirate concentrate using the Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) method to a xenogeneic bone graft (Bio-Oss) in sinus floor elevation. Materials and Methods. Using a randomized controlled study design in eight consecutive patients (age of 55.4 ± 9.2 years), 16 sinus floor lift procedures were per...

INTRODUCTION Rehabilitation with implants in the upper maxilla often implies a challenge due to the shortage and quality of the remaining bone. Different kinds of grafts have been described in an endeavour to solve these problems. AIM The purpose of this study was to assess the osteoconduction potential of an autogenous bone and B-Tricalcium Phosphate mixture, in the treatment of atrophic upp...

Introduction: Rehabilitation with implants in the upper maxilla often implies a challenge due to the shortage and quality of the remaining bone.

Proposing to place endosseous implants is an integral facet of dental treatment plans. Their insertion is usually associated with a low incidence of untoward events. However, despite careful planning, surgical complications can arise: infection, intraoral hemorrhage, wound dehiscence, postoperative pain, lack of primary implant stability, inadvertent penetration into the maxillary sinus or nasa...

A variety of surgical techniques and materials have been developed to increase the vertical bone height in the posterior maxilla. Minimally invasive crestal approaches for the elevation of the floor of the sinus using a crestal approach have been recently reported to minimize adverse events associated with the use of the osteotome technique for indirect sinus lift. The aim of this study is to r...
