Immediate Implant Placement in Conjunction with Maxillary Sinus Lifting and Grafting

Salah Sakka. Contemp Clin Dent. 2024 Apr-Jun.

Abstract

Bone deficiency in the posterior maxillary bone can be associated with a large sinus cavity and this dilemma can limit implant placement for dental rehabilitation in this area. The maxillary sinus lifting technique can be the solution for many clinical situations with minimal bone height, allowing the placement of longer implants. Autogenous bone graft is a safe and reliable material for reconstructive surgery. In this article, a case of an elderly male patient with inadequate maxillary bone height is presented. Simultaneous maxillary sinus elevation and implant placement with autogenous parietal bone graft were performed.

Keywords: Bone graft; dental implants; oral rehabilitation; sinus floor elevation.
