Near the final part of the video, Dr V said that he would prefer to graft collagen in the area where he was not going to place implant in order to reduce the bone volume. What form of collagen? Does he mean using collagen membrane or collaplug? If membrane, does he roll them up, then place bone graft next to them? Or just place several collaplugs?

Dear Dr Furnari Its is not necessary to make little perforations, you just need to make sure you release the schneiderian membrane from the mesial wall of the sinus, wich is the main blood suply zone from the sinus. i always use bio-oss + PRGF, wich according to Dr Anitua's is the best option to fill up the sinus. i myself have excellent results with this technic. i only use piezo for implant osteotomy, when i'm crist splitting and pacing implants at same surgical time. hope i was usefull Bernardo de Mira Correa

Att Dr. Salama: I took your course with Dr. Pikos in June, just two weeks ago I was able to use the Piezoelectric for a bilateral sinus lift. BTI lent me the PRGF system and the proceedure went well. I have the following questions? 1)Is it necessary to make little perforations on the inside of the sinus floor to increase the blood supply? I don't recall Dr. Stephen Wallace or any one else reccomending this. 2)Why does Dr. Vercellotti not like to use Bio-Oss in his Sinus lifts? I believe he said that he prefirs autogenous bone plus collagen only. 3) Lastly, do you like Piezo surgery for implant osteotmy ?

Well Dr. Salama, I agree with the advantages of the piezoelectric in sinus lift. But I have doubts and I would like to know your opinion, on the new tips for implant site preparation for piezoelectric ?
