Tilted versus axial implant distribution in the posterior edentulous maxilla: A CBCT analysis

Objectives This study 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. Materials and Methods In 115 patients with edentulous maxillae, virtual implant planning was performed utilizing cone‐beam computer tomographs. Axial (8 mm length) and tilted (12 mm...
