Reconstruction of the severely resorbed maxilla with a combination of sinus augmentation, onlay bone grafting, and implants

Immediate functional loading of provisional implants in the reconstructed atrophic maxilla: preliminary results of a prospective study after 6 months of loading with a provisional bridge

“…_ 1 2 ) T D $ F I G ] time-consuming staged approach is usually described 16 . The period between bony reconstruction and the placement of the implants and prosthetic rehabilitation is inconvenient for the patient because of the lack of retention.…”

Long‐term changes in graft height after maxillary sinus augmentation, onlay bone grafting, and combination of both techniques: a long‐term retrospective cohort study

“…In many cases, especially those involving severe atrophy of the jaws, bone augmentation is needed prior to implant placement (Weingart et al 1992;Schliephake et al 1997 Esposito et al 2009;Farhat et al 2008). Vertical augmentation can be performed by onlay bone grafting of the alveolar crest, sinus floor elevation, or combinations of these methods (Neyt et al 1997;Wilkert-Walter et al 2002;Wallace & Froum 2003;Wiltfang et al 2005;Nkenke & Stelzle 2009;Raja 2009;Schmitt et al 2011Schmitt et al , 2012. However, augmented bone is subject to conversion processes, which can lead to a considerable decrease in bone over time after augmentation (Binger & Hell 1999;Wiltfang et al 2005).…”

Efficacy of Platelet Rich Plasma in Sinus Lift Augmentation

“…PRP has the potential to increase the rate of bone formation in a graft and to enhance the density of bone volume [10]. PRP with freeze dried bone allograft for alveolar ridge augmentation, maxillary sinus lift and guided bone regeneration has been used by various authors in the literature [9,11]. When hydroxyapatite and PRP were mixed together, the hydroxyapatite crystals get engaged in the PRP gel, so the resultant mix becomes thicker and easily adaptable into the defect.…”
