A Osseointegration of Dental Implants in Atrophic Regions. The use of Densah Burs, Osseodensification Technique, in Sinus Lift Procedures. A Clinical Case and Review Literature.

Abstract

Introduction:  Atrophic posterior maxillary regions pose a significant challenge in dental medicine, where dental implant stability is hard to achieve. The innovative osseo-densification, a new biomechanical technique that aims to solve this problem without removing any bone tissue, is a topic of great interest and potential in our field.

Case report: The patient, A.K., a 44-year-old smoking female, was presented to the clinic concerned with the lack of ability to eat from her left side as a result of the extraction of her upper molars. After a 3D radiographic scan was conducted, it was confirmed that there was considerable bone loss in the upper left posterior region and a proximity with the maxillary sinus. As part of the treatment plan, an Osseo-densification technique in crystal maxillary sinus elevation would be used for two implant placements in the first and second molar regions.

Conclusions: The osseo-densification technique in crestal sinus lifting was shown to be a dependable and less invasive option for treating considerable posterior maxillary bone loss. However, conclusive findings are still needed for this technique, emphasizing the need for continuous research and learning in our field.
