Posterior Maxilla: A Challenge in Implant Dentistry
Various bone-grafting materials have been studied for use in maxillary sinus grafts to accelerate the bone healing process like: autogenous bone, frozen bone, freeze-dried bone, xenogeneic bone, demineralized freeze-dried bone, b-TCP, and hydroxyapatite. Also, the trans-crestal osteome technique without any graft has also been employed and widely studied and is also found to be successful. An ideal maxillary sinus bone-grafting material should provide biologic stability, ensure volume maintenance, and allow the occurrence of new bone infiltration and bone remodeling. After the restoration of the implant has been completed, there should be no bone loss and the materials should be stable and there should be a predictable success rate. This presentation provides an outline and compares the various graft materials employed in indirect sinus lifts and their outcomes. Evidence based results from multi-center clinical trials are highlighted along with case presentations and discussions.

Achieving stable bone levels with dental implants – A review of past to present concepts
Crestal bone loss resulting in peri-implantitis is often a common long-term complication with dental implants, eventually leading to mobility and loss of the implants. Understanding the factors that cause this crestal bone loss and trying to avoid such complications can be achieved with good surgical protocol, a modern implant system with suitable design features, a good surface treatment, a good connection, proper loading protocol and a meticulous follow-up system.
