Can Certain Dental Implants Help Me Avoid Maxillary Sinus Surgery?
Last Updated: Apr 21, 2010
Dr. V, a prosthodontist asks:
I have a patient for whom I have treatment planned implants in his maxillary posterior. The problem is a pneumaticized maxillary sinus leaving only about 5-6mm of bone between the alveolar crest and floor of the sinus. What I would like to do is to avoid surgery of the maxillary sinus. Endodopore [Innova] has a 4.8x5mm implant with a highly porous surface that I supposed to encourage bony in-growth and osseointegration. I would like to find out from experienced users about using this implant for this purpose. Have any of you used the Endopore implant for this kind of situation to avoid maxillary sinus surgery?
