The assessment focuses on comparing the alterations in these materials, aiming to contribute to our understanding of their durability and performance in clinical settings.
Materials And Methods: A total of 60 stainless steel miniplates and screws were collected from 30 patients who had previously undergone either maxillofacial trauma or orthognathic surgery.
It is of interest to compare conventional lateral window technique, trans-alveolar technique with minimally invasive technique like modified trephine technique and antral membrane balloon elevation technique for sinus floor elevation in placement of dental implants. The current study included 140 participants (191 dental implants) who had maxillary posterior edentulous regions and had low sinuses and insufficient alveolar ridges but had chosen an implant-retained prosthesis. The minimally invasive techniques of sinus augmentation can be suitable alternative to conventional traumatic techniques due to low incidence of pain, gingival swelling.
