Sinus floor

Introduction A lack of vertical dimension of alveolar bone at the posterior maxilla is a common challenge in implant dentistry. Usual causes can be the result of a loss of alveolar bone from periodontal destruction, or a pneumatized maxillary sinus, or both. Advancement in material science and nanotechnology allow stronger

Introduction In the second part of the blog, we had discussed about the lateral window and transcrestal approach for sinus floor elevation along with complications. In the third part of this blog article, we will be covering the alternatives/advancements to these two techniques which were proposed in order to minimize

Introduction Insufficient bone volume is a common problem faced during the rehabilitation of the edentulous posterior maxilla with implant-supported prostheses. The bone available for implant placement in the posterior maxillat may be limited by the pneumatization of the maxillary sinus following tooth loss, resulting in unfavorable alveolar ridge dimensions. In

Introduction Insufficient bone volume is a common problem encountered during the rehabilitation of the partially/completely edentulous posterior maxilla with implant retained/supported prostheses. The pneumatization of the maxillary sinus may limit the bone support for dental implants following tooth loss along with loss of alveolar bone height. In such a scenario,
