ALBUQUERQUE, Assis Filipe Medeiros et al. Survey of maxillary sinus using lyophilized bone associated with immediate implant placement taper morse: a case report. RFO UPF [online]. 2014, vol.19, n.1, pp. 129-134. ISSN 1413-4012.

Objective: to present a clinical case of maxillary sinus lifting using biomaterial and immediate implant placement, and to discuss some relevant factors to a successful treatment. Case Report: Male patient, 65 years old, came to the prosthesis over implant and Implantology Service with the goal of rehabilitating edentulous area in tooth 15 region with implant. Imaging examination revealed little residual bone height to place the implant in the region. Given the characteristics of the case, it was proposed to the patient the performance of maxillary sinus lifting using lyophilized bone graft (biomaterial) along with immediate implant placement, aiming at a faster rehabilitation of the patient. Currently the patient is at 12-month post-operative period, he concluded final rehabilitation, and presents satisfactory esthetic and functional results. Imaging exams show complete incorporation of the implant to the recipient site and to the bone graft after 1 year of follow-up. Final Considerations: It may be concluded that immediate implant placement after maxillary sinus lifting is a viable procedure when properly indicated, providing reduced treatment time to the patient.
