Implant dentistry has become an excellent treatment modality since its inception into the modern era of dentistry. When patients present with deficient alveolar ridges, it could jeopardize the application of implant dentistry. This problem is especially magnified in the posterior maxilla where ridge resorption and sinus pneumatization are often encountered. The procedure of choice to restore this anatomic deficiency is maxillary sinus floor lift up. The purpose of this case report is to bring forward such technique which prevents perforation of sinus lining during implant placement by doing the sinus lifting with indirect approach through alveolar crest. The indirect approach for sinus lift is less invasive and less complex and therefore a better alternative for such cases.","PeriodicalId":303737,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Oral Implantology and Clinical Research","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127460983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Peri-implant parameters (sulcus bleeding, pocket depth and bone loss) were evaluated at a mean of 9.1 years after insertion. Based on these parameters, cases were classified as healthy tissue, peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare group parameters. Results: A total of 211 implants (89%) were healthy, 21 implants (9%) showed peri-implant mucositis and 5 (2%) showed peri-implantitis. Risk factors for peri-implant diseases were alcohol (p<0.001) and nicotine abuse (p<0.001) and irradiation (p<0.001). Conclusion: After a mean of 9.1 years, the TiOblast® dental implant showed a marginal rate of peri-implant disease.

An atrophic alveolar ridge frequently causes functional, esthetic and prosthodontic problems. New approaches to implant therapy are available for patients with insufficient bone volume, like bone grafts, which may be autografts, xenografts, allografts or alloplasts. In maxillofacial reconstruction, the autogenous bone graft is still the “gold standard” for bone augmentation procedures. All ceramic crown emerging from a healthy peri-implant mucosa would fulfil the ultimate goal of a life-like restoration. This article describes a method for harvesting intramembranous monocortical bone from the symphysial region for horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation followed by implant placement in the anterior maxilla.

Denture instability leads to feeling of insecurity, inefficient mastication, and overall dissatisfaction with the prosthesis. Implant-retained dentures have been developed and studied as a method for solving the problem of instability associated with conventional dentures. Ten edentulous patients of age group 60 to 70 years were selected to participate in within subject cross over clinical trial. Complete dentures were fabricated which were later converted to implant retained overdentures. Presurgical dentascan was done with the surgical stent. The bite force measurements taken with conventional dentures and the implant supported dentures after 4 and 16 weeks of prosthetic loading of the implants. Patient’s opinions were assessed by means of questionnaires with precoded response categories. The results obtained in study showed that there was statistical increase in the maximum bite force of the conventional dentures from patients without dentures and for implant retained mandibular overdentures in comparison to conventional dentures. The percentage of patients satisfied with their conventional dentures in general was about 20%, and almost all patients were not satisfied with mandibular conventional denture.
