Summers' technique modification for sinus floor elevation using a connective tissue graft. A case report.

The sinus floor elevation technique with Summers' osteotome is simpler and less invasive than access through the lateral wall of the sinus; however, it is susceptible to a higher level of sinusal membrane rupture. The objective of the present study was to display a modification of the osteotomy technique by connective tissue interposition in order to weaken the impact of sinus cortical fracture, and therefore prevent perforations in the sinusal membrane. A case is reported in which a patient presented with an absent tooth #4 for osseointegrated implant rehabilitation.
