For implant placement, type and density of bone plays a vital role. Hence due to unfavourable bone quality in posterior maxilla, <a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/are-dental-implants-really-worth-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dental implant<\/a> placement should be carried out with maximum attention for achievement of successful results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Maxillary Sinus<\/strong>: This is a pyramid shaped cavity. The size of the sinus increases with age and also after extraction or tooth loss of maxillary molar teeth. This sinus pneumatization. The extent of pneumatization varies from person to person and from side to side. This leads to deficiency in bone height for implant placement thus requiring sinus or bone augmentation. Another way of bypassing the sinus is use of tilted implants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"900\" data-id=\"14904\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dental-implants-in-one-day-e1654070321553-506x900.png\" alt=\"Full Mouth Implants - Upper Missing Teeth\" class=\"wp-image-14904\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Multiple Missing Teeth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"900\" data-id=\"14902\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Misisn-teeth-to-SAPteeth-e1654070408448-506x900.png\" alt=\"Full Mouth Rehabilitation\" class=\"wp-image-14902\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Missing to Fixed SAPTeeth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"508\" height=\"900\" data-id=\"3498\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screenshot-2021-06-22-at-7.01.05-PM-508x900.png\" alt=\"Multiple Missing Teeth\" class=\"wp-image-3498\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-restoring-upper-missing-teeth\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Restoring Upper Missing Teeth<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-removable-dentures\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Removable Dentures&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Partial Dentures: <\/strong>It is one of the oldest way of replacing missing teeth.
