Direct Sinus Lift and Immediate Loading of Dental Implant - Clinical Reports and Preliminary Radiographic Results

Abstract

Edentulous posterior maxilla is the most challenging area for the implant placement. Because of increase pneumatization of sinus in this area available bone height is inadequate for primary stability of implants. Sinus lift procedure followed by floor augmentation is the only option to increase the availability of bone in this area. Sinus lift procedure can be direct or indirect type depending on available bone height. For augmentation of floor the grafting materials varies from Autogenous bone grafts to xenografts and alloplastic material. We can also use combination of these to increase the success rate. In our cases we used direct sinus lift with MILA SLA Kit and augmentation with Bone Plus TM bone graft with successful immediate implant placement by Anyridge Megagen company in Maxillofacial and Dental Department of M P Shah Hospital, Kenya.
