8 MM Implants: Would Splinting Improve Stability?
Last Updated: Mar 21, 2011
Dr. S asks:
How stable/ reliable is an 8 mm endosseous implants in the #3,4,5 area [maxillary right first molar, second premolar and first premolar; 16, 15 , 14]? There is enough height to be just below the sinus floor. The trabeculation seems slightly above average . The ridge width would accomodate a 4.5mm width. Would the stability improve in reliability if they were splinted together?
