Crestal minimally-invasive sinus lift on severely resorbed maxillary crest: prospective study.

Objectives: This case series aimed to explore the clinical outcome of sinus floor elevation surgery using a crestal approach technique in case of severely resorbed maxillae.

Material And Methods: Seventeen edentulous patients received 20 implants and sinus floor elevation in posterior maxillae with residual crestal height of 1.2-5.

Clinical evaluation of a ridge augmentation procedure for the severely resorbed alveolar socket: multicenter randomized controlled trial, preliminary results.

Objective: To radiographically analyze extraction sites left untreated or treated using a socket preservation technique.

Materials And Methods: A total of 20 patients scheduled for single extraction in the maxilla from second to second premolar were enrolled in this study. All sites showed a bone defect >5 mm at the buccal wall and no soft tissue recession.

A case series on crestal sinus elevation with rotary instruments.

Purpose: This case series aimed to evaluate the clinical outcome of a crestal approach technique in sinus floor elevation surgery with insertion of an alloplastic material.

Material And Methods: A total of 50 edentulous patients received 64 implants and sinus floor elevation in posterior maxillae with residual crestal height 1.2 to 9.

Implant restoration 3 months after one stage sinus lift surgery in severely resorbed maxillae: 2-year results of a multicenter prospective clinical study.

Objectives: This multicenter prospective study was aimed to clinically evaluate implant behavior inserted in severely resorbed maxillae and restored 3 months after sinus grafting.

Materials And Methods: In three clinical centers, 67 totally rough wide diameter implants were inserted during 30 consecutive sinus lifts. Computed tomography and panoramic analysis were preoperatively requested for each patient.

Early implant loading after vertical ridge augmentation (VRA) using e-PTFE titanium-reinforced membrane and nano-structured hydroxyapatite: 2-year prospective study.

Conflict Of Interest: self-supported study, no conflict of interest to declare

Aims: This 2-year prospective multi-centre study aimed to evaluate the survival of implants loaded 14 weeks after vertical ridge augmentation (VRA).

Materials And Methods: Twenty consecutive patients scheduled for VRA around implants were selected for this study in three private centres. Nano-structured Mg-enriched hydroxyapatite (Mg-e HAP) was used as the only augmentation filler material.
