Synopsis

In the posterior maxilla, implant placement may be problematic because the alveolar process tends to resorb with age, and the maxillary sinus becomes larger. As there is little bone volume available in this region, sinus floor elevation has become an important procedure in peri-implant grafting. The combination of flapless surgery and crestal sinus elevation with simultaneous placement of implants is an attractive surgical approach for implant grafting in the posterior maxilla. This presentation will address how to perform flapless crestal sinus augmentation together with immediate implant restorations.

Learning Objectives
  1. Describe limitations of current maxillary sinus floor augmentation techniques to gain adequate bone height for implants with adequate length in the posterior maxilla region;
  2. Explain the combination of flapless surgery and crestal sinus elevation with simultaneous placement of implants; and
  3. Discuss the efficacy and safety of the flapless crestal sinus grafting techniques performed together with immediate implant placement.
