Anterior maxillary sandwich osteotomy technique with simultaneous implant placement: A novel approach for management of vertical deficiency.

Background: The introduction of sandwich osteotomy technique with simultaneous implant placement allowed various procedures to be carried out with a level of great precision and accuracy thus saving time for the patient and clinician.

Purpose: The aim of the current study is to evaluate the efficacy of this new technique regarding increasing the anterior maxillary alveolar height with simultaneous implant placement.

Materials And Methods: Nine patients suffering from multiple missing anterior maxillary teeth were selected with vertical dimension not less than 10 mm.

Computer guided sinus floor elevation through lateral window approach with simultaneous implant placement.

Background: The introduction of CAD/CAM technology in implant dentistry has marked a new era, allowing various procedures to be carried out with a level of great precision and accuracy.

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to compare the efficacy of a CAD/CAM generated surgical cutting guide in the reduction of incidence of membrane perforation during maxillary sinus floor elevation in relation to the standard lateral window approach technique.

Materials And Methods: Twenty cases of maxillary sinus elevation were randomly divided into 2 groups.

Repair of nasal septal perforation using inferior turbinate graft.

Objective: Nasal septal perforation can cause troublesome symptoms. Surgical repair is indicated in symptomatic patients. Many approaches and techniques have been described, each with its advantages and indications.
