The International Piezoelectric Surgery Academy is proud to share a short presentation of the recent research we conducted about the Minimally Invasive Management of Implant Supported Rehabilitation in the Posterior Maxilla.
Doctor Stacchi, Doctor Lombardi, Doctor Spinato, Doctor Bernardello, Professor Bertoldi, di, Prof Zaffe and Prof Nevins took part to this research.
Alveolar bone resorption and maxillary sinus pneumatization, occurring after dental extraction in the posterior region of the maxilla, may be problematic when planning implant-supported rehabilitation. Various regenerative options are available, including guided bone regeneration, bone block grafts, and lateral sinus augmentation. These procedures are associated with significant complication rates, high morbidity, increased therapy duration, and high cost. Less invasive approaches, such as transcrestal sinus floor elevation, and using short implants have been proposed in an attempt to reduce these drawbacks. The aim of this study is to analyze available evidence to suggest predictable options and identify minimally invasive management of implant-supported rehabilitation in the posterior maxilla.
This article concerns biologic mechanisms regulating new bone formation after maxillary sinus augmentation and examines characteristics of available implants and grafting materials to help the clinician select the most rational and convenient surgical approach according to specific situations.
