Abstract
Statement of the Problem: After extraction of posterior maxillary teeth, the base of the maxillary sinus tends to expand inferiorly by a process called pneumatization decreasing the alveolar bone height. Clinical reports suggest that dental implants placed in the maxilla (especially in the posterior area) have lower survival rates than those in the mandible. Several treatment options have been utilized in the posterior maxilla to overcome the problem of inadequate bone quantity, such as on lay augmentation of the alveolar crest, Le Forte (I) osteotomy with an interpositional bone graft, lateral approach sinus augmentation or osteotome sinus augmentation. The osteotome sinus floor elevation procedure (OSFE), introduced by summers is less invasive, less time consuming and reduces postoperative discomfort to the patient. The purpose of this study is to evaluate osteotome sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implant placement for management of atrophic posterior maxillary area.
Methodology: Dental implants were placed simultaneously with osteotome sinus floor elevation in the posterior maxillary area.
Findings: Endosinus bone gain around the tip of the implant. In this study the osteotome sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implant placement was decreased over all with time for abutment placement and prosthetic functional loading.
