PEREZ PEREZ, O et al. Advanced surgery techniques in the treatment with osseointegrated implants of maxilla: A 2-year follow up. Avances en Periodoncia [online]. 2006, vol.18, n.1, pp.10-19. ISSN 2340-3209.

Introduction. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical outcome of implant therapy of maxilla by advanced surgery techniques. Methods. 51 patients were treated with 93 Microdent^® sandblasted-etched surface implants for rehabilitation of maxilla by sinus floor augmentation, expansion technique and bone grafts. Implants were loaded after a healing free-loading period of 6 months with a followup at least of 24 months. Results. 37 patients (72.5%) were treated by sinus floor augmentation, 8 patients (15.6%) were treated by expansion technique and 6 patients (11.7%) with bone grafts. 83.3% of implants were inserted in posterior maxilla. Clinical findings showed a survival and success rate of implants of 96.8%, because 3 implants were lost during the healing period. Conclusions. This study indicate that treatment of maxilla by advanced surgery techniques with osseointegrated implants constitute a dental treatment with a high success rate success.
