Synthetic putty and simultaneous short implant placement in crestal sinus lifting procedures: 13–36 months follow-up - a case series

Abstract

Aim of this investigation is to show in sites with less than 4mm of bone height of the sinus floor, synthetic putty bone graft and simultaneous short implant placement in crestal sinus lifting procedures result in sufficient bone gain, and is a valuable option to the more invasive lateral-window approach.

Immediate Implant Placement in Anterior Extraction Sockets using a Synthetic Putty as Graft: A case series

“…Most studies indicate that 80-90 percent is absorbed within 4-6 months, while regenerating bone at the same time. The putty has consistently proven to regenerate bone when used for socket grafting, grafting of periodontal defects or in crestal sinus lift procedures [10,11,12,13,14].…”
