Summary

It is assumed that the reduction of the flap dimension could provide a reduction of surgical time, post surgical complications and patient's discomfort when compared with the traditional surgical approach.

Detailed description

16 edentulous patients in maxillary posterior area were treated with a bilateral sinus lift procedure. Once enrolled in the study impressions were realised and the radiographic stent prepared, with radio-opaque references fixed in the positions where the implants should be inserted. Pre-surgical CT scan was executed after placing the stent in its proper position in patient's mouth. If no surgical contra-indications were detected at CT evaluation, patients were involved in the study.
