After placing allograft for sinus lift (Fig.6 >), a 5x11 mm IBS implant is placed with insertion torque ~ 50 Ncm. A 6x4(3) mm pair abutment is placed, followed by bone graft in the remaining sockets (*).
The bone density in the mesial socket appears to increase and becomes more homogenous 3 months postop (Fig.13 *). Impression is taken for final restoration.
There is bone formation in the sinus distal to the implant 6 months post cementation (Fig.14 *) with the osseous tissue having grown into between the threads (arrow).
