Tilted versus axial implant distribution in the posterior edentulous maxilla
Adam Hamilton et al., published in the journal; Clinical Oral Implant Research.
The publication aimed to determine whether distally angulating an implant is a successful strategy to avoid the maxillary sinus and the need for bone augmentation, while increasing the anterior-posterior (A-P) implant distribution in the edentulous maxilla.
It was seen that angulating 12 mm implants provides a limited increase in A-P distribution of implants in edentulous rehabilitation in most situations. In certain patients, the use of 8mm axial implants may provide a greater A-P spread.
