Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

This case report deals with two patients that required implant placement in the atrophic posterior maxilla to support a fixed prosthesis with the less invasive and promptest procedure. The gold standard of care would be to perform a sinus augmentation with an autologous bone graft through the lateral approach with delayed implant placement. However, in these cases, the posterior maxillae were treated with an osteotome sinus floor elevation procedure without grafting material, and simultaneous placement of short, 8 and 10 mm long, tapered implants.<\/p>\n
