Dr. Istvan Urban, Loma-Linda-University, CA/USA, demonstrates the treatment of a patient with a posterior maxilla with minimal bone height due to an enlarged sinus cavity.
The video shows the diagnosis, treatment planning and the step for step of the clinical technique for a sinus augmentation procedure when a septum in present in the inferior wall of the sinus. Separate lateral windows are cut anterior and posterior of the septum; bone harvested from the mandibular ramus and was applied with the sandwich technique utilizing a xenograft (BioOss). 24 Month follow-up clinical and radiographic pictures demonstrate healthy peri-implant mucosa and stable implant and bone level.
