Abstract
We describe a combination of 3 surgical procedures for implant placement in the posterior maxilla with insufficient bone quantity and quality. In these situations, we have performed 3 minimally invasive, safe, and reliable surgical procedures: buccal bone graft with bone harvested from the mandibular molar region, submucous vestibuloplasty using artificial dermis, and bone-added osteotome sinus floor elevation under endoscopic control. These modified procedures can be performed in the office setting under outpatient local anesthesia and may minimize patient discomfort and reduce postoperative complications.
