Synopsis

Advanced and minimally invasive techniques for TASE offer the patient and clinician significant and highly predictable larger elevations with simultaneous single-stage implant placement. The development of piezosurgery, crestal non-cutting drills and hydraulic techniques will be reviewed to help the surgeon understand their role and predictability compared to traditional osteotome techniques. Appropriate application of these techniques offers a reduced healing interval and minimal discomfort.

Learning Objectives
  1. Discuss the advantages and limitations of minimally invasive sinus elevation techniques;
  2. Explain the indications and application of crestal drill designs, piezosurgery, hydraulic-assisted and modified osteotome techniques; and
  3. Apply CBCT diagnosis in technique selection and avoiding complications.
