Re: Bone graft for a dental implant

Hi

I am planning to have a crown put in for a tooth in the upper right
side towards the back (tooth #3). The tooth there was extracted about a
year ago. Since there is not enough bone, a bone graft needs to be done
for the dental implant to be put in.There are 2 procedures to do this.
The first procedure involves sinus floor uplifting via surgery (believe
this procedure is called Sinus Floor Elevation).

The 2nd procedure is newer Hydraulic Sinus Condensing for Implant
Placement apparently does not need sinus surgery but instead a hole is
drilled from the mouth itself upwards and bone graft is pushed thru.
The 2nd technique is supposed to be less invasive. It comes from Dental
Implant Institute of Las Vegas (http://www.diilv.com/hydraulic.htm).

Does anyone have any experience with the newer 2nd procedure in terms
of effectiveness, reliabilily and longevity?

Thanks
Bob


I've never seen this particular technique. The idea is apparently just a methodology for sinus lifts, not a new procedure per se.
It does sound interesting, and hopefully our favorite OMF surgeon Dr. King will be around to comment.
