ITI Vol. 5 - Procedimientos de Elevación del Seno Maxilar

When the atrophic posterior maxilla does not offer enough bone, elevation of the sinus floor becomes the route to the implant. The fifth volume of the ITI Treatment Guides follows that route on the basis of the evidence: prior clinical and radiographic examination, planning, and a comparison between the transcrestal approach and the lateral window, with guidance for choosing the technique and the grafting protocol according to the risk and complexity of each case. Clinical cases and illustrations accompany every recommendation, and a dedicated section takes up the complications specific to these procedures. A useful reference for the surgeon planning implants in compromised posterior sectors.
