Magnetic Mallet and Densah Bur for Crestal Sinus Left

Magnetic Mallet Versus Densah Bur for Crestal Sinus Left With Implant Placement in Maxilla (Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial)

Background: Implant placement in the posterior maxilla is problematic procedure, not only due to inferior properties of bone but also due to loss of vertical bone height, which happens after extraction of posterior teeth. When the required additional height is few millimeters, indirect transcrestal sinus lifting is recommended. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate Densah bur versus Magnetic mallet in transcrestal sinus lifting procedure in edentulous molar and premolar maxillary region.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patient seeking replacement of missing maxillary posterior teeth by dental implant procedure.
• Residual bone height is (5-7) mm measured from crestal bone to sinus floor.
• Both genders.
• Good general health;
• Good oral hygiene.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Uncontrolled Diabetes.
• Coagulation disorders.
• Immunological disorders.
• Previous radiation of the head and neck region.
• Presence of chronic systemic diseases;
• Presence of acute or chronic sinus problems;
• Alcohol or drug abuse;
• Heavy smokers.
