J Oral Implantol. 2005;31(4):205-8. doi: 10.1563/1548-1336(2005)31[205:SFAASI]2.0.CO;2.

Abstract

Osteotome sinus floor augmentation is a simple and conservative technique to increase the bone height on the sinus floor. In this report, a patient with a bone height of 5 to 6 mm in the extracted site of #3 was simultaneously treated with the osteotome sinus floor elevation technique and nonsubmerged implant placement. At 1-year follow-up, the entire length of the 10-mm-long implant was covered with new bone and the implant was solid and functional.
