About

This study aims to describe a new approach for the reconstruction of the alveolar process in the sinus area. This minimally invasive approach will access the maxillary sinus through the alveolar process, elevating the sinus membrane in the area immediately above it. The regeneration may be achieved in the specific area required for dental implant placement, reducing the morbidity of the procedure.

20 participants in 2 patient groups

Control group

No Intervention group

Description:

After the molar extraction, no intervention will be performed.

Interradicular septum window group
