Immediate implant in a molar with a 7 mm septum: septum expansion and slight sinus lift

With limited apical bone and a 7 mm septum, Melillo chooses to expand the septum for immediate implant placement and also reports a slight sinus lift, estimating it at no more than 1–2 mm.

The tooth has three roots, with fused buccal roots, which further complicates the procedure.

The video shows that magnetodynamic preparation makes it possible to stabilise the implant and expand the septum while preserving 100% of that bone.

Però guardando il video si percepisce la possibilità di stabilizzare l’impianto MD e di espandere il serto conservando il 100a% di quell’osso

Finally, preparation with Elevate also allowed us to raise the sinus floor slightly and place a 4.5 × 8 mm implant in a slightly subcrestal position, 4 mm from the gingival margin. I completed the procedure with a customised healing abutment.

Infine la preparazione che è stata eseguita con Elevate ci ha permesso anche di sollevare un po’ il seno per inserire un impianto da 4.5 h8 mm leggermente affondato (4mm dal margine gengivale). A completare ho realizzato una vite di guarigione custom.

Only slightly. I had 7 mm of bone, used an 8 mm stop and then placed the implant subcrestally. I believe the elevation was no more than 1–2 mm.
