The aim of the present case report was to illustrate how to obtain an ideal alveolar ridge contour by means of peri-implant soft-tissue management combined with the prosthetic approach of the biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT). A patient presenting a moderate vertical and horizontal bone loss in the posterior maxilla was treated with sinus floor elevation and simultaneous implant placement. During the reentry procedure, the horizontal defect was corrected with an apically repositioned flap combined with a connective tissue graft. To increase the volume of the interimplant papillae, a pedunculated flap originating from the primary flap was turned within the interimplant space. BOPT one-time abutments have been employed to maximize the space available for the papilla-like tissues. A focused and combined surgical and prosthetic procedure has permitted enhancement of both peri-implant esthetics and function without the need for further invasive and costly bone regeneration techniques.

This case report discusses osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE) and immediate placement in 2 stages in severely resorbed alveolar bone height in which multiple implant placement is not otherwise feasible due to a lack of initial stability. The first implant placed using OSFE without bone grafting prepares the adjacent resorbed sites for further implant placement in the sinus areas, which allows for better initial stability and early functional loading. This process avoids the conventional extensive lateral approach for sinus lifting and bone grafting procedures even in extremely resorbed alveolar bone.

Background. This study aimed to determine the long-term survival rate of implants placed in fresh sockets of extracted maxillary molars with simultaneous sinus floor elevation and early loading protocol. Methods. Nineteen maxillary molar teeth were extracted by tooth sectioning, and the sockets were debrided. Drilling for implant placement (Either Xive, Dentsply or Axiom, Antogyr) was terminated 1 mm short of the sinus floor with a pilot drill. Then, according to Summers’ technique, elevation of the Schneiderian membrane and bone grafting were performed. The implants were placed according to non-submerged procedure after sinus grafting and preparation of the desired osteotomy site. Results. The implants had been in function up to 5 years and the mean time of loading was 33.12 months. Analysis of crestal bone loss records indicated a mean of -0.054±0.56 mm of bone resorption (with a range of –0.86 to +0.90 mm). The amount of crestal bone resorption on the mesial and distal surfaces of implants was -0.02±0.559 mm and -0.09±0.59 mm, respectively (P=0.232). Survival rates and success rates were 100% and 95.45%, respectively. Conclusion. Immediate implant placement in the posterior maxilla with simultaneous sinus floor augmentation and early loading was a reliable and predictable approach.

Abstract Aim The purpose of this report is to provide a brief literature review of the bone-added osteotome sinus floor elevation (BAOSFE) procedure and to present a case utilizing this technique. Background Implant placement in the posterior maxillary region is often compromised due to anatomic limitations. In clinical situations where there is inadequate vertical bone dimension, the BAOSFE technique can be employed to increase bone height and allow placement of implants with an appropriate length dimension. Case Report A case of a 60-year-old female with inadequate vertical bone dimension in the area of an extracted #13 is presented. The BAOSFE technique was performed which facilitated the placement of a 3.75 X 13 mm implant. Summary Anatomic limitations such as inadequate vertical bone dimension in the posterior maxillary region may result in placement of shorter implants. Sinus floor elevation (SFE) procedures using a crestal approach such as the BAOSFE, in certain selected cases, can effectively and predictably increase bone height. Clinical Significance The BAOSFE technique is an excellent procedure that can overcome limitations associated with the posterior maxillary region. Citation Kolhatkar S, Cabanilla L, Bhola M.

When the posterior maxilla is atrophic, the reference standard of care would be to perform sinus augmentation with an autologous bone graft through the lateral approach and delayed implant placement. However, placement of short implants with the osteotome sinus floor elevation technique and without graft can be proposed for an efficient treatment of clinical cases with a maxillary residual bone height of 4 to 8 mm. The use of grafting material is recommended only when the residual bone height is ≤4 mm. Indications of the lateral sinus floor elevation are limited to cases with a residual bone height ≤ 2 mm and fused corticals, uncompleted healing of the edentulous site, and absence of flat cortical bone crest or when the patient wishes to wear a removable prosthesis during the healing period. The presented case report illustrates osteotome sinus floor elevation with and without grafting and simultaneous implant placement in extreme conditions: atrophic maxilla, short implant placement, reduced healing time, and single crown rehabilitation. After 6 years, all placed implants were functional with an endosinus bone gain.

Abstract Implant placement in vertically insufficient alveolar ridges of the posterior maxillae may require bone augmentation, such as sinus floor elevation, onlay grafting, and distraction osteogenesis. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the feasibility of vertical alveolar ridge expansion and simultaneous implant placement in the posterior maxilla using segmental osteotomy without sinus floor elevation, onlay grafting, and distraction osteogenesis. Two patients presenting with vertically insufficient alveolar ridges in the posterior maxillae were treated with the surgical procedure as follows. The edentulous ridge was split vertically using a segmental osteotomy before the preparation of an implant bed, and 1 implant body was placed simultaneously in the ridge with the vertical split. Three months later, abutments were connected and prosthetic loading of the implants was started. The follow-up was performed with the aid of dental and panoramic radiographs, evaluation of peri-implant probing depths, and Periotest values. In both patients, alveolar ridge expansion and implant placement were carried out without problems, good functional results were performed, and the clinical and radiologic findings were satisfactory. The outcome of the surgical procedure showed minimal invasion and good functional results.

Implants inserted in the posterior maxilla frequently need additional surgery for successful bone augmentation. One of the most common procedures for this is transalveolar sinus floor elevation. There are different protocols for this procedure, and there is controversy over the simultaneous application of grafting material upon elevating. In this prospective randomized clinical study in humans, a total of 49 transalveolar sinus floor elevations were performed in 49 different patients, divided into a control group (without graft, 25 patients) and a test group (with graft, 24 patients). The analyzed variables were obtained through digital orthopantomography on day 0 (day of surgery) and 18 months after surgery. These measurements showed a tendency towards greater vertical bone gain in the test group, but this was not statistically significant. Therefore, considering that sinus elevation and implant placement without the application of grafts is a successful treatment with fewer complications, a critical assessment of the need for these biomaterials is necessary.

The present study aimed to report: i) the sequela of sinus floor elevation (SFE) in the posterior maxilla with severe sinus membrane thickening and an undiagnosed fungal colonization but a patent ostium; and ii) a treatment course without implant removal. A 73-year-old woman underwent dental implant placement in the left posterior maxillary area. Although the patient was asymptomatic, severe sinus membrane thickening with Haller cells was observed on a radiographic examination, but the ostium was patent. After SFE and simultaneous implant placement, the patient developed acute sinusitis and was referred to an otolaryngologist. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) was performed, resulting in resolution of the infection and salvage of the augmentation and the implant. The histopathologic examination revealed the fungal ball that could not be diagnosed on preoperative dental radiography. During the 2 years following the final prosthesis delivery, a significant reduction in membrane thickness was observed. The implants were functioning well. Clinicians should recognize fungal colonization as an etiology of sinus membrane thickening and provide proper pre- and postoperative management, including FESS.
