Long-Term Outcomes of the Minimally Invasive Sinus Crestal Approach

Case Summary 🔎 This case presents implant rehabilitation in a previously failed implant site. After careful evaluation and site preparation, a new implant was successfully placed in the compromised area with appropriate positioning and soft tissue management. An immediate loading protocol was applied, and the provisional restoration was delivered within 24 hours following implant placement. This approach allowed for early functional loading while maintaining primary stabilit

Case Summary 🔎 Introduction In long-standing internal type implant restorations, mechanical complications may occur over time. One of the most challenging situations is abutment fracture combined with cold welding , often making conventional removal techniques ineffective. This case presents a fractured abutment in an old internal connection implant, where cold welding had occurred, resulting in prosthetic instability. Using the All-in-One Remover Kit, the fractured abutmen

Case Summary 🔎 Patient Information •Age/Gender: 52-year-old, Female •Past Medical History: Healthy •Drug allergy: None •Chief complaint: " I have the missing teeth on the upper front area. " Introduction This case presents a 52-year-old male patient who underwent implant placement in the maxillary anterior region (#23) with simultaneous guided bone regeneration (GBR) using CTi-mem, a titanium mesh. An IS-II implant was placed, and the CTi-mem was used to stabilize the grafte

Case Summary 🔎 Patient Information •Age/Gender: 56-year-old, Female •Past Medical History: No systemic disease reported •Drug allergy: None •Chief complaint: "It is difficult to chew the food due to missing molar teeth." Introduction Rehabilitation of the posterior mandible with dental implants is a predictable treatment modality; however, long-term stability depends on adequate primary fixation, proper bone management, and prosthetic accuracy. In cases of multiple missing m

Case Summary 🔎 Patient Information •Age/Gender: 53-year-old, Male •Past Medical History: History of Hypertension under medication •Drug allergy: None •Chief complaint: "I have the missing teeth on the upper left area." Introduction This case involves a 53-year-old male patient with missing maxillary left posterior teeth (#24, #25, and #26). Crestal sinus lifting was performed using the S-reamer from the SCA kit. At sites #24 and #25, implants were placed without bone graftin

Case Summary 🔎 Patient Information •Age/Gender: 60-year-old, Female •Past Medical History: No systemic disease reported •Drug allergy: None •Chief complaint: "I have the missing teeth on the lower area." Introduction Long-term clinical data are essential for evaluating the predictability and stability of dental implant systems. Especially in the mandibular posterior region, high occlusal forces require implants to maintain stable osseointegration and marginal bone levels ove

Case Summary 🔎 Patient Information Patient : 72-year-old female Medical history : Non-contributory Implant history : Implant placed in 2013 Diagnosis : #47 Implantitis Treatment plan : Fixture removal → Diameter 6.5 ALX-IT same-day placement Case description This case shows that stable primary stability is achievable with ALX implants even in a compromised site after fixture removal. By using the All-in-One Remover Kit, damage to the surrounding bone is minimized. Despite li

Case Summary 🔎 Patient Information 38 y/o, Male Past Medical History: Healthy Introduction A 38-year-old male patient underwent extraction of the retained primary tooth (#85), followed by immediate placement of an ALX implant. An intraoral scan was performed on the day of extraction and implant placement. The implant achieved favorable primary stability with a high IST value, allowing delivery of the definitive prosthesis after only one month. The final restoration was fabri
