Abstract:
A sinus bolt retention system includes a guide for precisely aligning a sinus support and an implant post for attachment through a bone. The sinus support is a bio-compatible material shaped to closely approximate the internal form of the sinus of the bone. The implant post extends from the outer surface of the bone through a bore hole to engage the sinus support. A denture may be immediately fitted to the implant post.
