Two-Stage Placement of a 5.0 x 6.0mm Bicon SHORT® Implant with an Internal Sinus Lift Procedure using Guided Surgery for a Maxillary Right First Molar and its Restoration with an Integrated Abutment Crown™ (IAC)
This treatment demonstrates the two-stage placement of a 5.0 x 6.0mm Bicon SHORT® Implant with an internal sinus lift procedure using guided surgery for a maxillary right first molar and its restoration with an Integrated Abutment Crown™ (IAC). Guided surgery designed for a 5.0 x 5.0mm Bicon SHORT® Implant was used to minimize the risk of sinus perforation and expedite the placement of the 5.0 x 6.0mm Bicon SHORT® Implant with an internal sinus lift procedure. The osteotomy was deepened using incrementally longer Guided Surgery Reamers through the orifice of a 5.0mm Guide Ring until the length of the intended implant was achieved. The top of the Guide Ring is designed to be 12.0mm above the top of the implant when the implant is placed 2.0 to 3.0mm below the alveolar crest of bone.
