Summary:
The goal of this study was to histologically document the effect of two different implant surfaces on the percentage of bone-to-implant apposition achieved with
implants placed in human sinus grafts. The influences of implant site and postgrafting delay time were also examined. Nine healthy volunteers were scheduled
to undergo posterior maxillary sinus floor augmentation in preparation for delayed implant placement. In addition to the conventional dental implants
selected for each case, titanium alloy experimental implants, 2.5 mm in diameter
and 8 mm in length, were custom manufactured. Each microimplant was prepared
longitudinally with two different surface topographies: machined on one
side and MTX microtextured on the other side. A notch prepared across the
superior aspect of the implants facilitated placement and provided a reference
line between the two surfaces. Patients were divided into two groups that
received the experimental microimplants at the time of conventional implant
placement: Group A (six patients) received the experimental microimplants in the
regenerated lateral wall of the sinus graft 11 months after graft placement, and
group B (three patients) received them in the alveolar crest 6 months after graft
placement. After 6 months of submerged healing, all experimental and conventional
implants appeared to be clinically osseointegrated. Histologic analysis
revealed that the mean bone-to-implant apposition was significantly greater with
MTX (72.31% ± 17.76%) compared to machined surfaces (38.01% ± 19.32%),
regardless of bone quality. The healing time between graft and implant placement
and implant location did not statistically impact the percentage of bone-toimplant
apposition. (Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent 2003;23:427–437.)

Internal Hydraulic Sinus Lift Procedure utilizing the Crestal Approach
In this video case report, “conservative” internal management of posterior maxilla is highlighted featuring new tools, techniques and biologics. Evaluation and Management of the deficient posterior region is handled by via CBCT Diagnostics and the CAS-KIT Crestal Approach Sinus Kit from Hiossen. Flap Reflection, Drilling sequence, Hydraulic Sinus Lifting of the Schniderian Membrane as well as the utilization of PRGF, Fibrin and Synthetic Bone Putty is highlighted in a conservative crestal approach. This is followed by final suturing using a horizontal and running mattress method.

Site Preparation & Osseodensification in Bone Management
Today's implant arena involves not only the understanding of procedures but also the science behind wound healing.
Often new technologies and instrumentation evolves that have a significant impact on what we are able to do clinically. Piezosurgical devices, periotomes, osteotomes, hydraulic sinus devices, neurosurgical drills, and the "PET" (Partial Extraction Therapies) system are just a short list of those that have made surgery more efficient and less traumatic for our patients. Osseodensification is another concept that can be added to this long list. This lecture will speak about new age bone management concepts and how these technologies may be able to assist us. Potential issues and focus on use will be touched upon as well.

Sinus Floor Elevation: A Clinical, Radiographic and Histologic Overview
This presentation and imbedded HD videos will highlight the important aspects of the Sinus Lift procedure and how to increase the success rate while minimizing complications.
An overview of the procedure with detail radiographic planning and follow up outcomes will be displayed and histoligical results highlighted to gain an appreciation of the timing of bone fill and when you can place and load implants in the augmented sinus. Complications and their management will be equally covered with an impetus on case and patient management and follow up care. Common medications and techniques for each procedure will be noted.

Digital Dynamic & Static Solutions
Partial Extraction Therapy and crestal sinus augmentation have changed the methods of implant planning and execution. Preserving both hard and soft tissue has propelled these concepts to innovative. Until recently the use of dynamic and static guidance has been delayed. The objective of this presentation is to understand the need for digital guidance and explores avenues to accomplish a digitally based workflow and execution fr the subsequent procedures.
