Early implant loading in the atrophic posterior maxilla‐ 1‐stage lateral versus crestal sinus lift and 8 mm‐long hydroxyapatite coated implants: An 11‐year randomised controlled trial

Abstract

Background and Aim Methods and Materials

The use of the Transnasal implant associated with the zygomatic implants in the treatment of atrophic maxilla: A Case Report

“…Maxillary reconstruction with bone grafts is an option for rehabilitation with dental implants. This reconstruction can be performed using intra or extra oral autogenous bone grafts, or biomaterials, however, depending on the technique, it can involve greater morbidity, unpredictable bone resorption, increase treatment costs, and a long rehabilitation time with several surgical steps, since in general, it is not possible to carry out immediate loading [2] [5].…”

“…Immediate loading is a desirable situation when rehabilitating atrophic jaws, especially because it significantly reduces total treatment time and costs. However, performing immediate loading on a grafted maxilla is quite complex since the newly inserted or even reconstructed bone does not present adequate density for the immediate function of the implants [5]. In contrast to bone grafting, Maló et al 2005 [6] published a retrospective study with a 1-year follow-up in which they described the All-on-4 technique.…”
