Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the effect of maxillary sinus floor elevation by the Frialit-2 Bone Condenser for implantation.
METHODS11 patients underwent sinus floor lift by The Frialit-2 Bone Condenser and were inserted 14 implants. The time of following up was 10 - 21 months.
RESULTSThere were no implant loose or lost, no clinical complaint of maxillary sinus area, and X-ray exam showed well osseointegration.
CONCLUSIONSThe Frialit-2 bone condenser can be used for lifting sinus floor, and the sinus elevation without lateral access allows the insertion of implants with no additional surgical stress for the patients.
