“…The treatment of edentulous posterior maxilla with implant supported rehabilitation may result difficult for the insufficient bone volume in consequence of buccolingual and/or apical occlusal atrophy of the edentulous alveolar crestal bone and pneumatization of the maxillary sinus. In this anatomical condition, the implant primary stability can be very difficult to obtain in absence of a useful quantity of cortical bone and for the loose structure of type IV spongious bone which prevents the fixture migration into the sinus [1,2]. Many different surgical techniques have been developed to treat the atrophic posterior maxilla.…”
