Maxillary Sinus Lift, PRF and Simultaneous Implant Placement
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Implant dentistry has emerged as an excellent treatment modality ever since its ingress into the field of modern dentistry. However, the first and the foremost requirement for the placement of an implant is the presence of an adequate alveolar bone. By adequate bone, is meant that both the quality and the quantity of the bone have to be sufficient for implant placement. Posterior maxilla often presents with insufficiently available bone for the placement of implants due to the presence of antrum of hymore most commonly known as the maxillary sinus. This jeopardises the successful implementation of implant dentistry in such situations. The present article is aimed at throwing some light on how to deal with the problem of resorbed ridges and a pneumatised sinus through the process of sinus lift and PRF placement in order to facilitate implant placement.
