  Background: Dental implantology is considered as the most widely treatment employed in edentulous patients. So far, cases with vertical alveolar ridge deficiencies of the posterior areas of the upper jaw are treated primarily with sinus floor elevation in order to achieve successful and stable dental implantation. Method: Employment of the “IPG” DET technique for the placement of forty-eight (48) implants in the posterior areas of the maxilla of twenty-seven (27) patients. Implant placement was made by means of a flapless approach – in which implants are entered both the sinus cavities – by intentional perforation of the Schneiderian membrane. Concentrated growth factors, as well as Alos-Block bone grafting material – were also utilized in this study, following a certain and precise protocol sug.. View More»
