  • Title: [Five-year evaluation of implants in the resorbed maxilla].
    Author: de Lange GL, Kuiper L, Blijdorp PA, Hutter W, Mulder WF.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Tandheelkd; 1997 Jul; 104(7):274-6. PubMed ID: 11924409.
    Abstract:
    The survival of implants placed in the resorbed maxillae was investigated. Both edentulous and partially edentulous patients were evaluated including those who underwent 'sinus lift' procedures. The group of patients with a sinus floor augmentation showed a five-year cumulative survival rate varying between 100% for fixed bridges on implants in the partially edentulous maxillae and 75.6% for implants under overdentures placed in severely resorbed edentulous maxillae. It is concluded that placement of implants in the augmented sinus-floor is justified, if the patient is well informed. The procedure can provide a good solution for the prosthetic problems of patients with a resorbed maxilla.
