  • Title: Treating the atrophic posterior maxilla by combining short implants with minimally invasive osteotome procedures.
    Author: Toffler M.
    Journal: Pract Proced Aesthet Dent; 2006 Jun; 18(5):301-8; quiz 309, 316-7. PubMed ID: 16903541.
    Abstract:
    Edentulous sites in the posterior maxilla are often compromised by reduced bone volume, prohibiting the placement of 10-mm implants without sinus augmentation. The use of shorter implants minimizes the need for more extensive sinus floor elevation, thus reducing treatment duration and morbidity. Two implant designs are presented in combination with localized internal sinus floor elevation to restore the posterior maxilla. This simplified treatment modality can make implant rehabilitation of the atrophic posterior maxilla more accessible and more palatable to even the most reluctant patients and referring doctors.
