Comments
This kit be used for compression/Lift for any implant system?
I would like to ask, we don't have MIS in my country, however the bone compression kit is attractive, and can it be used with any implant system. for Sinus lift and for bone compression?
Sinus compression kit can be used with any system.
I happen to like the sinus compression kit. I use both the MIS and BTI kits. They are both very useful and can be used with any implant system.

Nice case, But do you really need a sinus lift
Simple 8 or 10mm implant would be quite sufficient.
In reality with bone of 8-10mm I would not consider a sinus lift. Naturally some form of internal sinus lift is anticipated as a result of implant placement.
Short implants do work.

Sinus lift and Short implants
Dear Dr. Nalbandian,
I agree with you I have used plenty of short implants to avoid doing a sinus lift and they work well. But it has to be the right situation. In this patient there was a grinding and bruxism concern so I was a little concerned about doing short implants.
We would love to get a case from you to put up on our featured case section. Send us the photos with a short description and we will put it up.
Cheers,
Nicholas
Very Nice Sinus case, Great lift
do u have any pictures of closed sinus lift of this case while using bone compression kit
Nice sinus case. You going to splint the final restoration?
Are you doing the entire case or just the surgical portion? Final restorations to be splinted?
Nice lift and good fixture placement.
