• Resumen

  • Vertical bone loss in the posterior maxillary sectors is a frequent occurrence after tooth extraction. These areas can often be rehabilitated using regeneration techniques or by opting for a more conservative approach with short implants.

    The present clinical case shows bilateral rehabilitation with two different techniques: sinus lift and the insertion of short implants, with a follow-up of 8 years where both techniques have achieved equally predictable results.
