Sinus Lift I

After removal of the mesial (M) and distal (D) residual roots of the tooth #15 (Fig.1,2), Magic Split is used to test bone density (high), followed by Magic Drills from Magic Sinus Lift Kit (for 4 mm) and Magic Surgical Kit (for 5 mm).  It appears that the sinus floor has been perforated with the intact sinus membrane.  Following minimal use of Magic Lifter, Vanilla Graft is inserted (Fig.3,4 *) and a 4x9 mm dummy implant is placed.  After placement of more allograft (Fig.5 *), a 5x7 mm implant is placed with ~ 35 Ncm.  With placement of a 5.5x4(2) mm abutment, an immediate provisional is fabricated to close the socket.  Six months postop, the bone graft remains in the sinus around the apical end of the implant (Fig.6 *), while there seems no bone loss coronally (Fig.7).  In fact there is, as shown later (Fig.8-11 < and lingual (L)).  The crown is recemented 6 months post cementation (due to short abutment).
