Case 2<br />

A 43-year-old female non-smoker patient<br />

presented to do implants. Treatment<br />

planning for implants (Figs. 17-18) show<br />

that two Axiom PX implants measuring<br />

4 mm in diameter and 10 mm in length<br />

can be placed after developing the bone<br />

through the Summers technique with<br />

concave end osteotomes (initial bone<br />

thickness = 6 mm).<br />

filling material before osteotomy.<br />

The second and third inserts are later<br />

used automatically with interposition each<br />

time with a small amount of filling material<br />

in the drilling channels. The concave end<br />

“scrapes” the sides and collects bone<br />

particles that help increase bone volume<br />

when mixed with the biomaterial - the<br />

amount used is 0.5 cm 3 or 0.25 g per<br />

implant (Figs. 24-26).<br />

A follow-up X-ray of the arch obtained is<br />

always taken before placing the implants<br />

(Fig. 27). Thanks to the automatic<br />

impactions of Osteo Safe ® held with one<br />

hand, the surgery can take place quickly.<br />

The universal screwdriver allows the<br />

manual placement of implants with no<br />

excess torque, thereby controlling the<br />

insertion axis perfectly (Fig. 28).<br />

drilling channels.<br />

Fig. 18: Preoperative 3D with implant planning.<br />

Drilling is initiated with a Ø2.0 mm bur<br />

at a depth of 5 mm (Fig. 19). The first<br />

osteotome is used with an amount of<br />

biomaterial (Figs. 20-22) which allows<br />

lifting the membrane by condensation.<br />

As the sinus floor is highly corticalised,<br />

the osteotomy is performed with a<br />

percussion technique by means of<br />

the same osteotome assembled on<br />

the manual handle included in the kit<br />

(hammer not included) (Fig. 23).<br />
