Sinus Floor Elevation Via the Maxillary Premolar Extraction Socket With Immediate Implant Placement: A Case Series

Summary:
When immediate implant placement is considered
for teeth with close proximity to the sinus floor, apical
extension of the osteotomy is significantly limited, and often
a staged approach is used. Implant placement into fresh extraction sockets and sinus floor manipulation using bone-added osteotome sinus floor elevation with implant placement
are techniques most often used independently or sequentially.
In this care report, immediate implant placement with simultaneous osteotome sinus floor elevation is an advantageous
combination of two successfully used techniques. This combined
approach can significantly reduce the treatment time
for implant therapy in teeth with close sinus proximity and provide the operator with the ability to place implants of desired length.
