Maxillary sinus floor elevation via crestal approach: the evolution of the hydraulic pressure technique.

J Craniofac Surg

From the *Department of Morphology, Surgery and Experimental Medicine, University of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy.

Published: June 2015

The current study describes an innovative protocol for the surgical maxillary sinus augmentation via a crestal approach that uses hydraulic pressure to lift the Schneiderian membrane and simultaneously fill the subantral space with a biomaterial for bone regeneration (nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite in aqueous solution). The technique in question combines the advantages of large amounts of grafted biomaterial with reduced trauma, high precision, and predictability.

Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are an invasive type of odontogenic cyst that rarely occurs in the maxilla. This article presents a case of OKC complicated with ectopic teeth occurring in the maxillary sinus. This article collects a case of a 19-year-old female patient with an ectopic tooth in the maxillary sinus associated with an OKC.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a combination of immediate implant placement with maxillary sinus augmentation (MSA) solely using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on guided bone regeneration.

Materials And Methods: An interventional before-after (pre-post) study design was used with 30 dental patients (≥18 years of age; 14 males and 16 females) with initial bone heights ranging between 4 and 6 mm. Following the general check-up and the creation of a study model, the planned implant location demonstrated an external right maxilla diameter of more than 5 mm, thereby validating the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) radiograph.

Purpose: This retrospective study aimed to compare extended sinus lift and extramaxilla surgical protocols for restoring severely atrophic maxillae with zygomatic implants (ZIs) and evaluate their clinical effectiveness.

Materials And Methods: The study includes patients who were treated at a dental clinic in Italy from 2012 to 2022. These patients received fixed screw-retained complete dentures supported by either two or four zygomatic implants (ZIs).

Dental implants are essential for the prosthetic rehabilitation of edentulous patients, requiring adequate bone volume and density for osseointegration and load support. The posterior region of the maxilla, commonly deficient in bone quality and quantity, represents a clinical challenge. This case series reports an analysis involving 69 dental implants in the atrophic maxilla of nine patients.
